APA Manual - Ask for it at Reference Desk

The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is the style manual of choice for writers, editors, students, and educators in the social and behavioral sciences. It provides invaluable guidance on all aspects of the writing process, from the ethics of authorship to the word choice that best reduces bias in language. Well-known for its authoritative and easy-to-use reference and citation system, the Publication Manual also offers guidance on choosing the headings, tables, figures, and tone that will result in strong, simple, and elegant scientific communication.

Information from the Manual can be found at the APA Manual website, or you may ask for the hard copy book at the reference desk. 

There is an excellent online tutorial available at the APA Manual website for review if you need a refresher.
