COVID-19 NEWS: APA Announces More Free Resources
Nichole Ridgeway, director of library marketing at the American Psychological Association (APA), sent an email to colleagues in the library community stating the following:[APA] is providing additional free publishing resources beyond those we previously announced in March. We hope these services help to provide both professional and personal assistance as you navigate this pandemic. … To help students in need of APA Style guidance, tutorials and quick guides adapted from Academic Writer®, APA’s tool for teaching and learning effective writing, are now freely available through July 1, 2020. The Basics of Seventh Edition APA Style tutorial will stay on the site for free after that date. To help children and caregivers navigate feelings of anxiety, stress, and grief, APA’s children’s book imprint has implemented a twice-weekly Magination Press Story Time with authors reading their books. Story Time is held Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3pm ET. An archive of all previous episodes is also freely available. APA staff Lynn Bufka, PhD, Associate Executive Director for Practice Research and Policy, and Vaile Wright, PhD, Director of Clinical Research and Quality, led a webinar series to offer tips for managing stress and anxiety. The webinars provide guidance on how to manage anxiety due to uncertainty, coping mechanisms for having to adapt to a new way of communicating, and the importance of establishing routines.
