Tips for this reference type

  • See Manual 14.161, 14.167 and 14.165.
  • See Manual 13.10 for notes on citing material from a library database. Use a stable or permanent URL/DOI (Digital Object Identifier) wherever available. If one does not exist (or if the URL is too long), include the name of the database instead.
  • Where actual names are used, invert the names of the first named person only in reference list..
  • Screen names and personas can be included as authors - enter the creator's name as it appears. If a real name can be determined, include this in brackets after the screen name.
  • The order of the citation elements may depend on the nature of the resource and on what the focus of the citation is (i.e. you may cite the director's name first if the direction of the work is your primary focus).
  • Any facts relevant to identifying the item should be included (i.e. additional writers, actors, producers).
  • Accompanying material (like a director's commentary) can either be woven into the text (see Turabian) or cited by author and title (see 14.165).
  • You may need to consult other resources (i.e. a library catalogue or IMDb) for some citation elements.
  • You may give a time-stamp of the appropriate excerpt in parentheses, e.g. (Adichie 2009, 1:45).
  • If there is no date of production or broadcast provided, you should include an access date prior to the URL (Manual 13.15).
