Hey, I’m typing up a research assignment right now and it’s worth twenty percent of my mark. I put a lot of effort into it and I think it looks great, but this is my first year of Post-Secondary and I’m a bit nervous.

Does anyone care to read it sometime later tonight and let me know if there are any glaring no-no’s that jump out at the experienced student? (It’s easy to read because it’s not an essay, I just answer about forty different questions that needed different types of research.)

Also, how the hell do you write up Microfilm in a biliography?

There should be an entry in the style guide you were told to follow. If you weren’t given one, get yourself a copy of the _Chicago manual of Style_ (should be available in the stacks or at the reference desk of your school library) and see “Microform” in the index. All will be made clear.

Besides, microfilm is usually of a journal or newspaper, so you simply document it as you would a journal or newspaper.
