Infobite: Database Citation Feature

This is part of the Infobite Series: Bites of Information from the MCC Library:

Many of the library subscription databases have a citation feature that will cite in MLA, APA, and, frequently, other styles. While these citations are not always perfect, they’re pretty good and quite a time saver.

In the EBSCO databases, you can find a citation through several functions in the right hand frame: the Print, E-mail, and Cite functions. In ProQuest, click on Cite above the article. Look around in other databases to find their citation features!

For more info on citing, see our Citing Sources page that is attached to all of our Research Guides.

Career Services Has a New Tool

Contributed by Evette Thompson from MCC Career Services:
 

Career Services has a new tool called InterviewStream, which can be utilized in classrooms and/or the comfort of your own home. 

This new tool is available for students, faculty, and staff. The benefits of InterviewStream are the helpful interview tips for posture, how to correctly answer questions, becoming familiar with video interviewing, and the ability to critique yourself afterwards. This useful tool is compatible with phones, tables, and computers as long as there is a webcam attached.



InterviewStream would be an excellent tool if your class is conducting mock interviews or is practicing presentation styles--it would also be great if you want to brush up on your own techniques if you're anticipating an interview for a professional organization, conference presentation, or something else.
