What is the Basic Bibliographic Information Required for a Book Citation?

• Author
  • Instead of an author, a book can have an editor, compiler or translator.
  • There are rules for citing books that have a corporate author or no author at all.
• Title of Book
  • Make sure to include subtitles of books as they appear on the title page.
• Publisher
  • All publication information should be found on the title page.
• Place of Publication
  • Make sure to retrieve publication information from the book itself and not from the library catalog or online database.
• Date of Publication
  • If the date of publication is not on the title page, look through the first few pages of the book until you find it.
