Unit 9: How to do it!
Citing and quoting from multi-media and online resources
Electronic journal (eJournal) articles
When citing from an eJournal article it should be treated in the same way as a paper journal, using the author's surname and the publication date.
Web page (WWW)
If the website has an obvious author and date of publication, the information should be cited like a book or journal article. If there is not an obvious author, but the work is situated on an organisational website, the organisation can be used as a 'corporate author'.
Example
The Department of Health (2003)
If there is no author or corporate author use the title of the document as the main point of reference.
CD-Roms
If there is not an obvious author use the title of the CD-Rom as the main point of reference.
Example
Encyclopaedia Britannica (2001)
Multimedia
If a video or DVD recording or audio-cassette is cited, the series title should be used as the author.
Example
World in Action (2002)
