Next, let's practice citing a journal article from a database: "Blocks, Bricks, and Planks: Relationships between Affordance and Visuo-Spatial Constructive Play Objects" in the journal American Journal of Play.

To find this article, open the ProQuest Database (you'll need to log in with your student ID number if off-campus) and search for this article by its title.

The search will work best if you type in the main part of the article title, "Blocks, Bricks, and Planks".

Tips to help you complete this citation:

In NoodleTools, choose "Journal" for your citation type when you create the new citation, and then on the form page make sure you've selected the options for citing an article that comes from a database.
If you aren't using NoodleTools, use the MLA print guide from the North Seattle College Library.
You can find the information about this article on the PDF (you will need to scroll a bit) or the "Citation/Abstract" page in ProQuest.
Notice that there are two authors of this article-- you'll want to add each one into NoodleTools using the "+ Add Another Contributor" link.
Don't stress about missing information -- put what you see on the database page! If you only have a first initial for an author, just put that letter for their first name.
In ProQuest the "Publication Title" is the same thing as what NoodleTools wants for "Name of Journal."
