Errors of Style

APA (American Psychological Association) recently published corrections to the much examined 6th edition to the APA Style Manual. Mary Lynn Skutley from the APA Style blog addresses the changes in a recent posting. Skutley also includes a number of links useful for students and other users of the APA Style. In short, most of the errors in the APA Style Manual occurred in the sample papers, along with typos and clarifications. You can access the pdf of the corrections at http://supp.apa.org/style/pubman-reprint-corrections-for-2e.pdf. If you have any doubt about the APA formatting of your paper, feel free to contact the Reference Desk at 413-755-4549 or stop by during regular hours.
