There are several errors in the 6^th edition of the APA Style Manual. The APA has agree to replace these books for free if they are contacted between November 2 – December 15.

The process for receiving a replacement copy, which you are entitled to if you purchased the book anywhere, is:

1) Contact the APA Service Center:

APA Main Contact
Mailing address: American Psychological Association, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242
Telephone: (800) 374-2721 or (202) 336-5500M

Contact the Service Center Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

2) The person you speak with will email you a link to a form and mailing label you will print out.

3) Mail your style manual back to them – free of charge – and they will ship you a replacement copy.  If you received a free desk copy, they won’t send you a replacement copy but will provide you with a supplement that corrects the mistakes in the 6^th edition.

Two of the library’s main information providers have given us free access to important and timely information about swine flu.

Ebsco Publishing has paired with DynaMed to make free access to its  clinical information about swine flu. This information is designed for health care providers, but may also be of interest to Cal State Fullerton faculty, staff and students.

Gale has also given us free access to news and information about swine flu, through its Global Issues in Context portal. If you wish, you may download a widget for use on a web page of your own.

Both information providers will be updating these sites.

Here at the Pollak Library we value the hard work you put into your research and we would love to reward you for your efforts. The Library will honor three individuals with awards of $1,000 (first place); $500 (second place); and $300 (third place). Winners will participate in an award ceremony and have an exhibit devoted to their work on display in the Library. The deadline is April 10th, but that will be here before you know it.  Visit our web site to get all of the details.
