Formatting is important!
√ Double-space within and between each entry.
√ The first line of each source starts at the left margin and all lines after are indented five space. (Called a hanging indent)
For help go to the Tips on formatting tab.
Citations for books include the author's name, title of the book, and publication information (city, state, name of publisher and date of publication).
When citing an entire book, include the total pages at the end followed by the letter 'p' For selected pages, use 'p' followed by the page numbers used.
Chapters, sections, tables, charts, or graphs written by the author or authors of the book are considered parts of the book: when written by someone other than the author or authors of the book, they are considered contributions to a book.
Include the edition number after the title, if citing an edition other than the first.
