Reading a Citation
How can you tell if the citation you have is for
an entire book, a book chapter, or a journal
article? Bowen, W. G., Bok, D. (1998). The
shape of the river Long-term
consequences of considering race in college
and university admissions. Princeton,
NJ Princeton University Press. Smedley, B. D.,
Meyers, H. F., Harrell, S. P. (1993).
Minority-status stresses and the college
adjustment of ethnic minority freshman. Journal
of Higher Education, 64, 434452. Steele, C. M.,
Aronson, J. (1998). Stereotype threat and the
test performance of academically successful
African Americans. In C. E. Jencks M. Phillips
(Eds.), The Black-White test score gap (pp. 401
427). Washington, DC Brookings
Institute.

Reading a Citation
Now that you know these are some type of book
citations, how do you determine if they are for
an entire book or for a chapter within a
book? Bowen, W. G., Bok, D. (1998). The shape
of the river Long-term
consequences of considering race in college and
university admissions. Princeton, NJ
Princeton University Press. Steele, C. M.,
Aronson, J. (1998). Stereotype threat and the

African Americans. In C. E. Jencks M. Phillips
(Eds.), The Black-White test score gap (pp. 401

Key Clues for Book Citations
Chapter in a Book Look for In. This is a
chapter contained withIN a book. Are there two
titles? One is the chapter title, the other is
the book title. Are there two sets of
authors? One set provides the author(s) of the
chapter, the other provides the
author(s)/editor(s) of the entire book.
7
Key Clues for Book Citations
Citation for an Entire Book Only one title
provided. This is the title of the book. Only
one set of authors. These people are responsible
for the content of the entire work. Keep in mind
they may be editors and therefore not authoring
the whole work, but they are still responsible
for the overall content.

Reading a Citation
If your citation doesnt include publisher
name/place information and youve determined its
NOT a book, it may be for a journal article.
Smedley, B. D., Meyers, H. F., Harrell, S.
P. (1993). Minority-status stresses and the
college adjustment of ethnic minority freshman.
Journal of Higher Education, 64,
434452.

Key Clues for Journal Citations
Determining if a citation is for a journal
article Look at the citation for giveaways
like the word Journal. If cited correctly, an
APA journal article citation wont include
month/day information, just a year, a volume
number, and sometimes an issue number. If you see
a month or a date, you may have found a citation
for a magazine article or a newspaper. In a
proper APA citation, the journal name and a
volume number will be italicized.

Locating Books
Tools to Use UWP Library Catalog Tells you
what books the UWP Library owns Universal
Borrowing/UW System Search A service to use when
UWP doesnt own the book, but another UW library
does WorldCat A catalog of libraries
worldwide. When no UW school owns the book you
need, you can place an InterLibrary Loan (Illiad)
request right from the WorldCat record

Locating Books
What to search for First, try a title search
for the book youre looking for. Remember to
search for the title of the book, not the title
of the chapter! Bowen, W. G., Bok, D. (1998).
The shape of the river Long-term
consequences of considering race in
college and university admissions.
Princeton, NJ Princeton University
Press. Steele, C. M., Aronson, J. (1998).

Locating Books
What to search for If you run across a
common title, try performing a search where you
include at least a portion of the title along
with the books authors/editors last name.

Locating Books
What to search for If your books title
contains a colon (separating the title and
sub-title), its probably best to use a search
incorporating the title words up to the point of
punctuation. Punctuation sometimes can be a
problem in library catalogs. Bowen, W. G.,
Bok, D. (1998). The shape of the river Long-term
consequences of
considering race in college and university
admissions. Princeton, NJ Princeton
University Press.
14
Locating Books
What to search for If your books title starts
with an article like the, a, and, or la, dont
use it as part of your search. Always drop the
initial article. Bowen, W. G., Bok, D.
(1998). The shape of the river Long-term
consequences of considering race
in college and university admissions.

Press.
15
Locating Articles
Tools to Use UWP Periodical List Tells you
what journals the UWP Library has access to and
whether access is available in print or
electronic form (or both). InterLibrary Loan
(Illiad) Use from a record within a database to
request an article indexed but not available
through the UWP print or electronic collection.
OR, use it from its start page to request an
article not available from UWP. Remember, if you
do not use the Illiad link directly from a
database, you will need to fill in the form
yourself!
