Citing Sources

Citations are key to participating in the scholarly community. They are a way to converse with other scholars, but they also:

  • Give fair credit to others for their ideas, creations, and expressions.
  • Back up claims and statements.
  • Provide a way for an interested reader to learn more.
  • Support academic integrity.

Consult Citation Tools to learn more about different citation styles.  Collins Library also supports two knowledge management tools:  RefWorks and Zotero.

  • In general, cite GLAM Studies sources in the notes using section and line numbers:

    [Author], [Title] [Book/Section.] [Line #s cited]

    Examples:

    Sophocles, Antigone 904-922.

    Homer, Iliad 18.141-143.
     
  • The field of GLAM Studies tends to use abbreviations quite a bit.  Don't make up your own abbreviations!  Instead, use the extensive list available in The Oxford Classical Dictionary OnlineAfter clicking on the link to the OCD, click "All contents," then "Front matter," then "Abbreviations," as illustrated in the screen shot below:
