G ENERAL G UIDELINES Broadly speaking, entries follow this order:
1. Authors name 2. Title 3. Publication information (date, volume,
city of publication, etc.) 4. Mode of access (print or web) Each
form is slightly different. There are forms for books, journal and
magazine articles, newspaper articles, web sites, video recordings,
and other types of entries. Look up the right format for each
source. Do not trust an automated online citation service or
citation-generating software to format your entries correctly. The
responsibility is yours. Slide 4 B OOKS Franke, Damon. Modernist
