Hey Hey. Here are the library's hours for Spring Break 2016. Have fun fun fun.

Hey, hey. The library is looking for new homes for it's beautiful, hand-crafted wooden shelves. We've listed the shelves on craigslist, but if interested parties would like to message us here, we would love for them to go to SWC community members (at a seriously reduced price too).

"Well, she's got her daddy's car, and she's cruisin' through the hamburger stand now. She forgot about the library, like she told her old man now."

- Brian Wilson

Mr. Wilson brings up a good talking point: What is your library's policy on providing a cover story for your wild, youthful shenanigans? We here at Quimby are happy to be your ostensible responsible errand, which secures you the time you need for uninhibited self care (not to mention the keys to your father's sweet ride). If you notify us ahead of time (and if you're in good standing with the library), we will even respond with the following script, should your father call to check in on you:

"Hello, Sir. Yes indeed; your son or daughter is here at Quimby and has been for quite some time. I would tell him or her that you're on the phone, but he or she is so deeply engaged in feverish study, that I think it best to not disturb him or her, for at least the next three hours. Thank you, Sir, for calling. Please do not come here. Goodbye."

Meanwhile, you're spending your Saturday driving around eating hamburgers. As always: Quimby's got your back.

Do you hear that? It.. it sounds kinda like.. like sleigh bells jingling. (Ring ting tingling too). Come on, SWC folk, it's lovely whether for eBooks of required texts for the Winter 2016 quarter! (...together with you).

Winter 2016 eBooks The following are links to full text ebooks, which are required reading for courses in the Winter 2016 quarter. Upon clicking each link, you will be asked (on the page that loads) to provide an EBS…

FOR ETHICS STUDENTS AT SWC:

Some of you have asked for help citing the NM Counseling and Therapy Practice Board ethical codes. So we've done some research, which we hope will help.

The official document which includes these codes is called "New Mexico Administrative Code" (NMAC). NMAC in itself actually provides a format for citing its rules in 1.24.10.9 (section title: NMAC CITATION). Here it is:


“…the name of the part, followed by a comma, a space, the name of the issuing agency, followed by a comma, a space, the title number, followed a period, the chapter number, followed by a period, the part number, followed by a period, the section number, a space and the initials “NMAC.” The citation shall be followed by the effective date in parentheses.”


So, let’s apply these guidelines to citing the following section from NM’s Regulation and Licensing Department Counseling and Therapy Practice Board:


“16.27.18.12 INTEGRITY: A licensed or registered individual is expected to behave according to the standards of professional integrity and competence as defined by rule or law. A licensed or registered individual must not condone, associate with, or participate in dishonest, fraudulent, or deceitful behavior. A licensed or registered individual must not misrepresent themselves, their training, or their services. It is the responsibility of licensees and registered mental health counselors to be completely informed about this code of ethics by which they are governed.
[16.27.18.12 NMAC- Rp 16 NMAC 27.14.12, 6-15-01]”


In the above example we find:

Name of the part: Code of Ethics
Issuing Agency: Regulation and Licensing Department Counseling and Therapy Practice Board
Title #: 16
Chapter #: 27
Part #: 18
Section #: 12
Effective Date: 6-15-01

Pieced together then (and being mindful of the punctuation and spacing rules) the citation would look like this:

Code of Ethics, Regulation and Licensing Department Counseling and Therapy Practice Board, 16.27.18.12 NMAC (6-15-01).


Now for the bibliographical citation, which you will include on your references page, we have to consult APA 6th Edition. The closest match to this type of document, of which 6th edition offers an example, is on page 205 (7-31): corporate author, government report. Following that example the resource will be represented like this on your references page:

Regulation and Licensing Department Counseling and Therapy Practice Board (NM). (2001). Code of ethics. Retrieved from http://164.64.110.239/nmac/_title16/T16C027.htm

Note: no publication number is provided by NMAC, so that element (present in APA 6th edition) must be omitted.

Also Note: as a general rule, the leading name or title in an in-text citation must also be the leading name/title of the corresponding entry on your references page. You’ll notice this isn’t the case here (in-text = “Code of Ethics…” references entry = “Regulation and Licensing Department…”) However, since we are using very specific guidelines from NMAC for in-text citations and doing our best to provide a bibliographical citation in ine with APA, this is what we end up with.

Whew…

PLEASE BE SURE TO CONSULT APA 6TH EDITION BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR FINAL REFERENCES PAGE (to ensure that you're capitalization, punctuation, spacing, indentation, etc. are all in line.... and plus, it's really not a mean book. Come on. Be friends with it. Resistance is futile.)

If you’d like to review NMAC's explanation of the code, including the section specifying citation formatting, here’s a link (it’s your funeral):

NMAC Explanation New Mexico Administrative Code

Autumn's best spent in a thoughtful state. Connect to the past; ruminate on this world and others; read a ghost story; learn Jung's thoughts on the occult; give your mind what it needs to play tricks on you in the new darker dark; read a poem about paths diverging in the woods; read a few paragraphs from Hawthorne, and think about autumn in New England; soak in the red and yellow and burnt orange; wake from the lull of summer, from the warm evenings that lead us into ourselves; wake to a sense of restedness, a feeling of capability; rejoin the brilliantly, urgently, burningly alive; go to work among them; think and feel and be strong. ...And do it all from Quimby's new autumn reading display.

Like to read like an outlaw? Quimby's got you covered.
