EDUC 119: Cite Sources

Double check your citations!!!

A known issue with some databases, including RaptorSearch, is the capitalization of article titles in the APA citations generated. In APA, only the first word of the title is capitalized. For example, this would be the correct capitalization of the title:

"Education is education, perhaps, but not when it's public affairs education."

Not:

"Education is Education, Perhaps, but not When it's Public Affairs Education."
