APA Style Guide to Electronic References (2007)

APA has provided a new guide with (1) information on how to format new media including blogs, podcasts, wikis, and YouTube and (2) has changed the rules for citing scholarly articles retrieved electronically. This PDF file provides a revised and updated version of section 4.16 of the fifth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2001, pp. 268–281).

The Alvin Sherman Library has obtained an institutional subscription, and faculty may want to take advantage of this resource by pointing students to this link in their syllabi: http://www.nova.edu/library/dils/teachinghandouts/APAchanges.htm

Many of the changes require an understanding of the changing nature of electronic resources and methods of accessing scholarly resources. For example, Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are to be included in the citations when available. Librarians can explain these esoteric details for your faculty as well as providing open APA workshops for your students.
