[nabs] citing sources APA

Thu Dec 2 22:36:58 GMT 2010

Greg,

I believe that only applies to books that are available 
electronically to everyone, or the public market.  Bookshare is 
only for use by people with print disabilities.  So you are 
basically just accessing the book in a different way just like if 
you were using the NLS talking book version on tape.  You'd still 
just cite it as you would a regular print book.  That is unless 
the book was originally an ebook, but I don't know of any 
examples that would apply to.

Does that make sense?  And if you cited it like a print book, 
there would be no need for the retrieved from information.

Hello,
The reason I asked is that in the APA manual it had an entry for 
citing
electronic books.  Also, should I put the retrieved from on such 
and such
date at the end of the entry?
Thanks,
Greg Wocher
