To cite a poem, short story, article, or other work within a scholarly
project or database, begin with the author's name, if given, followed
by the title of the work in quotation marks. If no author's name is given,
begin with the title. Continue with relevant information on the project,
including the access date and URL. Be sure to give the URL of the specific
document rather than the URL of the database itself (if they are different
). In the event the specific URL is too long and complicated to include,
list the browser path instead. For example, the URL for Maya Angelou's
poem, “The Pulse of Morning,” is as follows:
Because this URL is so long, you should document the URL of the database, and then document the path you took to find the required information. Your citation would look like this:
The first image below shows you where to find the URL, the title of the database, and the first step in your path: Collections.
This image points out the second step of the path: English.
The third image indicates where the third step is: Online Holdings.
The fourth image shows the fourth step: African American.
Finally, the last image gives the name of the author and the name of the poem (Maya Angelou, “On the Pulse of Morning”). If you click on the title of the poem, then you will be taken to the long URL given at the beginning of this discussion.
