Book Citations

Components needed to cite the book as a whole, in print format, can be found in the catalog record: Author, title, publisher, place of publication, date.

The Library catalog does not feature a 'cite' button to generate the citation automatically.

E-books typically provide the citation (CITE button) for the book as a whole, and / or for individual chapters within the e-book.
