Unit 10: How to do it!

Quoting from multimedia and online resources


Electronic journal (eJournal) articles

When quoting directly 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 pages (WWW)

  • If the website has an obvious author and date of publication, the information should be cited like a any other source
  • 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 Health6 (p3)  or  The Department of Health6 (no page no) 

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 Britannica6

 Multimedia

If a video recording or audio-cassette is cited, the series title should be used as the “author”.

            Example
