Bibliographic Citations for Nonprint Materials; a Manual for Writers of Term Papers and Theses. Preliminary Edition.

A manual for cataloging nonprint materials reflects the recent agreement among authorities in the fields of library science and educational technology on cataloging rules, including terminology and order of entry. Written to produce citations compatible with established footnote and bibliographic forms, this manual can be used as a companion text to any style manual for writing scholarly papers. The two main sections cover (1) general rules for footnotes and bibliographic citations and (2) specific rules for entry of the elements of the collation. The latter section includes representative samples of footnotes and bibliographic citations for all nonprint media. A thirteen-item bibliography and a glossary of abbreviations are included.
