[nabs] citing sources APA

[Greg]

Hello all,
While we are on the topic of APA, what would be the right way to site a book from bookshare.org?  I tried looking at the APA manual I downloaded from bookshare, but it was a little hard to understand.  
Thanks in advance,
Greg Wocher

  I know that we all love APA!! But for those who may not share the same feelings, I'll be glad to assist-
   
  I'll be glad to review your reference list and check for correct style of APA in your documents (or answer any questions)
  Just send a copy to me off list @ ysgreen79 at hotmail.com and I'll get it back to you ASAP!
