🔎 SAIT supports three citation styles — APA, IEEE and Vancouver — and the library has guides for all of them.

📚 When it comes to research and citations, you don’t have to guess. Connect with your dedicated school librarian for support.

Writing effectively is one of the keys to a successful academic experience. Having trouble sitting down to write your paper? Feeling unproductive working alone? Let's write together.
