Ask your professor for his or her citation preference, as each may have a particular style they wish you to use.

The Internet guides are helpful but they are an abbreviated version of the printed manuals. Come into the library for any citation that the internet guide does not address.

Welcome USP Senior Sequence! Browse the tabs above to find specific resources for your Area of Concentration. There is a lot of cross-over in the research areas, so be sure to browse the other tabs as resources in your area run dry.

Kelly Smith, the Urban Studies & Planning Program Librarian, can help you find resources related to your topic. Mike Smith, our GIS coordinator, can assist you with questions about GIS or finding GIS data.
