CHI351: Social Issues Project: Citing Sources

Spring 2014, S. Wu

Citing Audio & Video Sources

For nonprint sources such as films, sound recordings, and music videos, use common sense. Most such works can be sufficiently cited in the text and should not require end matter. Use the date. Include end matter if you think it would be helpful (discography, filmography, songography, videography, etc.)

For films, include country and director if they are important

For sound recordings, include the recording artist and (unless you think they are unnecessary) the format, label, and catalog number
