In that case, you will need to include information about the larger source, or container, in your citation. Examples of sources within a container: A magazine article (the magazine is the container) A webpage within a website (website = container) A DVD copy of an episode of a TV series (TV series = container) An encyclopedia article (encyclopedia = container) A painting in a museum (museum = container) A short story in an anthology (anthology = container) Some sources are within two containers, especially sources found online, in which case you will need to include information about both containers. 1
2 Examples of sources within two containers: A magazine article found in a database (the magazine is the first container and the database is the second) An episode of a TV series found on YouTube (TV series = first container & YouTube = second container) A short story in an anthology published in a database (anthology = first container & database = second container) C. HOW TO FORMAT AN AUTHOR S NAME Begin your citation with the author s last name, followed by a comma, and the rest of the name. Examples: Bush, George W. Cather, Willa. Rowling, J. K.
