“alternative source citations”
Just a quickie post for now, hopefully something a little longer later this week.
School is chugging right along; this semester is more hectic than usual, due to an increased workload and two courses, but both the database class and the information organization class are turning out to be fun, interesting, and highly applicable to work. Yay.
Something that was posted to our class discussion board by a fellow student earlier this week:
Alternative Source Citations : Newest Rulings on Alternative Source Citing.
When writing papers and needing to provide courses in the references section, this page can come in handy, particularly if one has some rather… unusual.. sources. My current favorite (considering I have one of these on my desk):
When citing Magic 8-Balls:
1. List the question asked the Magic 8-Ball (in quotes).
2. Identify the location where you consulted the Magic 8-Ball.
3. List the manufacturer of the Magic 8-ball (in italics).
4. List the date that you consulted the Magic 8-Ball.
Example: “Reply Hazy, Try Again Later.” ["Will I get tenured?" Oasis Tavern, 6907 N. Sheridan Rd., Chicago, IL: Tyco Toys, Inc., January 12, 1998.]
