  • If the article is taken from a subscription database, such as ProQuest International Newsstream or Gale Primary Sources, do not include a URL. You can include the page number if available.
  • These articles can be found in Summon because the Library subscribes to these databases.

  • If there is no author on the article, refer to the missing information section of our guide.
