How do I cite my textbook?

How do I cite the Learn page in my course? How do I cite a webtext? What is the source list entry for my course materials?


Answer

All source list entries have four parts. These are the same for any source, even textbooks, webtexts, or sections of your course shell in Canvas. These are the four:

  • Author, perhaps a person's name, publisher, company, or an organization
  • Publication date, or last update
  • Title of the source
  • How to find the source, perhaps a permalink or a description of the location

Here are examples for textbooks and webtexts.
