Notes
• Use the author’s name and book title as found
on the TITLE PAGE, not the book cover.
• The publisher’s name and the place of
publication are usually at the bottom of the title
page. If not, then check the verso (the back of
the title page.)
– PUBLICATION, not PRINTING
• Check the verso for the copyright date.
• The place of publication is always a CITY.
– if city is not well - known publishing centre, then add province
/ state
– for British / European titles, ask Teacher - Librarian for help

Notes
• For online sources, you need two dates: a
source date, and an access (use) date.
– source date might be called copyright, last updated, posted,
published…
• In the Works Consulted, the date is always
abbreviated (e.g. Oct. Instead of October).
– May, June, and July are not abbreviated
• In the Works Consulted, the date is always
inverted (e.g. 24. Oct. 2011 instead of Oct. 24,
2011).
• The format type can be either Web or PDF,
depending on what type of source you used.
Example:

Notes
• Remember, there are no publishing standards on
the web, which means there is no consistency
from website to website with regard to what
information is provided or where it can be
found.
