The Library
The CSUEB University Libraries have some great resources for our use. On their home page, they offer a subject page that lists the resources that are available for your use. In order to access these resources from a computer off campus, you will be asked to login with your net ID and password.
Citation and Documentation
Go to the University Libraries home page (http://library.csueastbay.edu), scroll down to the “How to” section on the right, and click “Cite Your Sources.” This will give you links to a variety of web links (such as the OWL at Purdue, Diana Hacker, and Duke University, and CSUEB tutorials (which require flash and the ability to activate sound)
