  • See Manual 15.57, 14.267 and Turabian 19.10.3.3.
  • If no date can be determined from the source, include an access date.
  • Where actual names are used, invert the names of the first named person only in bibliography.
  • Different sources will provide more or less information about the item. Any facts relevant to identifying the item should be included, for example the name of a YouTube channel or where and when it was recorded.
  • If the material is a recording of a performance, or is a digitised version of pre-existing material, you should also include information about the original source. The order of these entries may depend on the information available.
  • Use a permanent URL wherever available.
  • You may give a time-stamp of the appropriate excerpt in parentheses, e.g. (Adichie 2009, 1:45).
  • Enter the creator's name as it appears. If a real name can be determined, you can include it in brackets.
