HUM 201 Assignment Playbook

The library's databases will provide you with enough sources for your projects. See some examples below.

Be choosy when you search for web sources, as most websites tend to provide only a shallow treatment of topics, and that is not appropriate for college level work. Evaluate websites carefully  using the CRAAP method.

Below are some websites you could use for your projects (if allowed):

It's kind of fun to do the impossible. (Walt Disney)

Looking for a quotation to add to your presentation? To find sources of quotations, go to the library's home page, and under FIND BOOKS, do a title search using the word quotations. See the example below.

The search will find books such as:

• The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations
• Hutchinson Dictionary of Quotations
• Gaither's Dictionary of Scientific Quotations

Use the library's MLA citation playbook to construct your citations.  Do not trust citation generators, even if they are part of a database; they often make mistakes. Learning how to cite from scratch will save you a lot of time in the long run.

• For help finding resources, use the information in the library's playbooks. Librarians can help you understand the playbooks, but they cannot conduct research for you.
• For help with formatting citations, please consult the library's citation styles playbooks. Please note the librarians cannot help you with citation generators or with any citation guide other than the library's. 
• For help with composition issues (such as spelling, grammar, flow, etc.), please visit the Writing Center.
• If you have questions, please email the  librarians at reference@pvcc.edu, visit the library and speak with a librarian, or connect via chat. If your section has an embedded librarian, contact that specific librarian.
