[nabs] citing sources APA

[Laura Glowacki]

Greg,

Cite a book that you downloaded from bookshare just as you would 
cite a book in print.  As you are only accessing it in an 
alternative format, there's no need to cite it any differently 
than you would if you were accessing it in print.

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

  Dorentta & All-

  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!
