Other Kinds of Sources

This section shows how to prepare works-cited entries for categories other than books, periodicals, and writing found on the Web and CD-ROMs. The categories are in alphabetical order. Two of them—art and cartoon—cover works that do not originate on the Web but make their way there. From these examples, you can figure out a documentation style for any texts that you may come across on the Web.



A FEW DETAILS TO NOTE

• AUTHORS: If there is more than one author, list the first author last-name-first and the others first-name-first. Do likewise if you begin an entry with performers, speakers, and so on.
• TITLES: Capitalize the first and last words of titles and subtitles, and all principal words. Do not capitalize a, an, the, to, or any prepositions or coordinating conjunctions unless they begin a title or subtitle. For periodical titles, omit any initial A, An, or The.
• DATES: Abbreviate the names of months except for May, June, or July: Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec. Journals paginated by volume or issue need only the year (in parentheses).
