FURTHER INFO:

Q: In the bibliography, do we italicize or underline book titles?

That's optional. You may leave them plain. Do not use quotation marks around a book title, however; in a bibliography entry, quotation marks are reserved for article or chapter titles.

Q: How do I cite  a lecture?

Bibliography: Denning, Kathryn. 2005. Lecture on "Bioarchaeology" in Anthropology 2140, October 13, 2005.

Citation: (Denning 2005)

If you end up citing more than one lecture, do it like this:

Bibliography: Denning, Kathryn. 2005a. Lecture on "Bioarchaeology" in Anthropology 2140, October 13, 2005.

Citation: (Denning 2005a)

Then for the next one, use 2005b. Etc.

Q: How do I cite a video?

Include as much detail as possible in your bibliography entry. There is usually info on the handout you get in class with the video, or on the lecture web page. 

Bibliography: The Lost Vikings of Greenland. 2000. PBS series, Secrets of the Dead.

Citation: (Lost Vikings of Greenland, 2000)

Q: How do I cite a website?

Include as much detail as possible in your bibliography entry, including author, title, URL, date accessed.

e.g. Rheingold, Howard. 2000. A Slice of Life in My Virtual Community. Electronic document, http://well.sf.ca.us/serv/ftp.htm, accessed July 5, 2004.

General Principles:

If you need to cite something that doesn't seem to fit the formulas, then:

- create an abbreviation that you can use in the citation e.g. (short form 2005)

- use that abbreviation to introduce a bibliography entry, in which you include all the information you can find.

Short Form 2005. Title, location, publisher, author, whatever info will help your reader locate the source.
