When to Use
You can use the LibAnswer-based Library’s FAQs when you want to provide more information but not duplicate content. They’re especially useful for “Help” pages.
Usage:
[faq type_of_id="faq" ids="idValue,idValue2,idValue3"]
To add FAQs to a page:
- Start with[faq type_of_id="faq" ids=""]
- Type the IDs of the FAQs you want to include between the quotation marks after ids.
[faq type_of_id="faq" ids="132796,130975,130946"] - Separate each ID with a comma (no spaces). Quotation marks go around the group of IDs, not individual ones.
Example
Citations for print and electronic resources can be done in many different styles, including APA, MLA, Chicago, and Turabian.
The library has a list of resources that show how to create citations in each style, as well as a guide on the citing sources.
Citation Managers are helpful when creating bibliographies and works cited pages. You can also try using a citation builder, like the one created by North Carolina State University.
For theses and dissertations written at the University of Illinois, try searching in IDEALS and the Library Catalog.
For UIUC and dissertations outside of U of I, search in ProQuest or WorldCat.
For more information and step-by-step instructions see the LibGuide on how to find dissertations and theses.
