I am in no way an expert on APA, but I don't think it really 
matters where
you get the book. Us getting books from bookshare is like a 
sighted person
getting a book from the library or buying it at Borders.

Just my opinion, maybe Linda will have other thoughts.

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!
