5. CITING ELECTRONIC SOURCES Refer to the handout Copy the “Source Citation” from any Gale database and change it easily In EBSCO you have to know which database inside it you use but it is thru the service called ASL-Traveler Gale Discovering Series, sometimes called Infotrac is free to all AR schools thru Traveler I purchase other Gale databases that I have to list the service as Thomson Gale

6. You now have to take this Source Citation and make sure if it gives an author that it is last name first. Then check for the subscription service--- since Gale Discovery Series is a free database to all schools in the state thru the Ark State Library, the service is called Arkansas State Library – Traveler. Then you insert your library name, city, state and a period. Next you go to that long URL and cut it back to the.com since it is a privately subscribed service (remember to add the >. at the end.
