This guide will help you find film criticism, biographies of directors, definitions of film genres, and information about the Library's DVD collection.

Citing Sources in APA Format

The APA citation format was developed by the American Psychological Association (APA), and is often used by students taking courses in the sciences and social sciences. If your instructor has recommended that you use APA format, and you need help with citations, visit the NCC Library's "Citing Sources: APA" web page for assistance.

This image of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is a scan of the NCC Library's own copy! You may find it in the book stacks at call number BF 76.7 .P834 2020, at both the Bethlehem and Pocono libraries.
