How to decipher and use your reading list

Which one's a book chapter?

Move your mouse over the citation to see what the various details are.

Sometimes a lecturer might direct you to a specific chapter or section of a book. It is important that you are able to recognise the differences between this type of citation and journal article so you can look in the right place.

Some clues that it is a book chapter:

• there are publishing details
• there are NO volume or issue details
• there appear to be two titles - use the book title to search in the catalogue
• there appear to be two authors - use the book's author/editor to search in the catalogue
• the word "in" appears after the first title, indicating that the material appears in some other item
