Glossary of Library Terms

Below is a list with links to the glossary terms.  If you simply copy and paste the links below, your link will open in a new full window.

However, if you want, you can edit the HTML of your page and place the simple link code:

<a href="http://libguides.uky.edu/glossary/terms#citation">citation</a>

with this new code:

<a href="#" onclick="MyWindow=window.open('http://libguides.uky.edu/glossary/terms#citation','MyWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no, menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=600,height=100'); return false;">citation</a>

(Replace the "#citation" with the appropriate code from the table below and change the term before the </a> at the end.)  If you do that, your link will open in a small pop-up.
