NPL's type collection is always growing. As a result, there will always be a need to add new citations to the database, which then get tied to individual collection records. The Reference Work table is where all the citation information is stored.

 

 


 

 Reference Work Fields

1) Format options are: Book, Dissertation, Electronic Media, Paper, Selection in Book, Serial, Technical Report and Thesis. Most of the are self evident, but a few need   further explanation.

2) For the title, please use title-case (first letter capitalized on all words except the, of, and, is, etc.,). Do not enter a title in all caps. It's easiest to google for the title and just copy/paste it into this field.

3) Every book, every journal has a publisher. If you have the journal or book it will be listed in the first or last page of the journal, and in some cases on the cover. If you have a print out of an article, you'll have to find the journal's web page and find the information there.

4) Place of Publication will be in the same place as where the publisher is listed.

5) Please use the date the article was printed on. Sometimes we get advance prints, and in some cases we see 2 dates- one for electronic publishing and another for print publication. Please use standard mm/dd/yyyy for the format.

6) The volume of the publication will normally be printed on the cover and spine of the journal. If you have a printed copy of a paper, in the upper left hand section of the first page will have a citation. The volume and issue are usually together, formatted like 87(5) with 87 being the volume and 5 being the issue

7) The issue number is normally in parentheses.
