Adding New Citations - Institutional Lists

2018-08-21T20:11:36Z

SFU-1:

If you'd like to create your very own landing page in this wiki -- one that will list ''only'' the citations for the resources subscribed to by your library, and one that will allow you to add some text about your library, follow the simple steps below...

'''1.''' Add your institution's name or initialism (SFU, BCIT, etc.) as a category/tag to each of your target resources.

'''2.''' Then click on one of those tags to get to the Category Page for that tag -- one that will list all resources with that tag.

'''3.''' This is the important part: add the following text to the top of that page: <nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki>

That bit of code will make it so that your tags don't show up on the citations -- the whole wiki would quickly get too cluttered if all possible institutional tags were shown.

'''Notes:'''

'''a.''' Your page will appear blank on the editing screen when you first add "<nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki>" to it. The resources appear automatically.

'''b.''' You may want to also add some text below "<nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki>" to talk about your school a bit: maybe a link to your library's general APA guide or to AskAway...

Sample institutional landing page: [[:Category:UCW|UCW]].

2018-07-16T19:24:17Z

SFU-1: /* Who is responsible */

== What this guide is for ==

This guide was created to provide assistance with citation for business sources, many of which can be difficult to fit into the templates of common citation styles. It is based on the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th ed. All page and section numbers refer to this manual.

Although the guide also contains some general guidance on using the APA citation style, its main focus is complex business sources. ''We recommend that you visit your local library's website for areas of APA that are not covered here.''

== What this guide is ''not'' for ==

* This guide is ''not'' focused on common types of sources that are covered well by other APA guides (e.g., books, most journal articles, or basic websites).
* It also is ''not'' intended as a place where you can ask citation questions. Please contact your local library if none of the resources listed in this guide come close to the specific resource and issue you are dealing with.
* Also see our [[MyWiki:General_disclaimer|Disclaimer]] for further discussion of the limitations of this guide.

== Who is responsible ==

This APA Guide is a result of a collaborative effort of many BC College and University Librarians. To edit this wiki you must be a contributor associated with the Business Librarians of B.C. group.

Librarians involved in the development of this wiki (past and current) represent the following institutions:

* [http://www.bcit.ca/library/ British Columbia Institute of Technology]
* [http://www.capilanou.ca/library/ Capilano University]
* [http://www.kpu.ca/library/ Kwantlen Polytechnic University]
* [http://www.lib.sfu.ca/ Simon Fraser University]
* [http://www.ucanwest.ca/ University Canada West]
* [https://www.okanagan.bc.ca/Student_Services/students/library.html Okanagan College]

== Contact ==

Email the ''APA for Business Sources Admin team'' to report an error in a citation or a technical problem with this site: apabiz-admin@sfu.ca. Include the page's URL in your message.

Please remember that APA Style lacks clear guidance and templates for many business resources, so some interpretation of the rules is necessary. It's possible that others may choose to interpret and apply the rules differently for the same resources.

Note: We do not accept or respond to email questions about how to cite other resources or how to integrate citations into a report. Please contact your local library for such assistance.

== History ==

The Business Librarians of BC (BUSLIB-BC), an informal group of academic business librarians, noticed that several members were creating very similar guides to citing business resources in APA style -- an inefficient duplication of effort.

We formed a team and charged it with investigating platforms and procedures for a single, collaborative guide -- one that would have a BC focus (BC librarians building it, BC examples used where possible) and that would provide consistent, current, and quality business resource citation examples for all BC researchers.

Sarah Parker (then at SFU) and Anita Chan (then at Capilano University), did much of that initial work, including creating the initial wiki platform. The team then expanded to focus on the content and structure of the wiki. Some of the peopke involved in that development phase include Linda Matsuba & Deirdre Grace (BCIT), Mark Bodnar (SFU), and Ulrike Kestler (KPU), but others offered advice and support. (For example, ELN staff (including Brandon Weigel) arranged for the wiki to be hosted on ELN servers. ELN was chosen as a neutral site, in part because that meant that the wiki wouldn't appear to be "owned by" (and the sole responsibility of) any single institution.)

We moved to a beta phase in the summer of 2017 and to a soft launch in the fall of 2017, at which point other members of the BUSLIB-BC group began contributing to the content.

SFU-1: /* Save it again */

The 10 steps required for adding a new citation to this wiki are simple once you've done them a few times, but until then you may find the following notes useful.

== Log into the wiki ==
:a. Contact current wiki-admin if you don’t have a password (BUSLIB-BC members only)

== Search by name (e.g., ''Infomart – Industry Report'') for the page you want to create ==
:a. Search box is at the bottom of the page
:b. Use exactly the terms you want as the name of your page. Check the existing citation pages for inspiration

== Click on the red text of the new page name in the search results ==
:a. It will be in the bolded phrase “Create the page "[the text you searched for]" on this wiki!”
:b. Note that you don’t have the ability to delete pages. If you accidentally create and save a page with the wrong name, let the wiki-admin know and they can delete it for you.

== Enter the following text on the blank page: <nowiki>{{subst:CitationPage}}</nowiki> ==
:a. This will add all the text and formatting of a citation page, complete with indents, bolding, etc., but you won’t see it until after you have saved it the first time.

== Save the page ==

== Click on ''Edit'' ==

== Replace all the placeholder text in the template (e.g., “AAAAAA”) with text that is relevant to your citation ==
:a. Look for instructions (text surrounded by <nowiki></nowiki>) on the edit screen) that will give you guidance on what content is expected.
:b. ''Important'': citation formats for many business resources can be interpreted in multiple ways. For this guide, any valid interpretations of the rules that allow a resource to be cited using the basic structure of -- Author. (date). ''Title''. Retrieved from URL -- should take precedence.
:c. Try to keep any notes as brief as possible. Use a brief phrase or sentence to indicate any specific issues (e.g., “missing title” or “corporate author”), then provide a link to the relevant page in the [[APA - General Notes|General Notes]] section for further details.
:d. ''Also important'': the annotated screen capture is one of the most valuable components of your citation page.
::i. See citations already in the wiki for examples of screen captures.
::ii. Software like FSCapture or Nimbus tend to make it pretty easy to capture and edit images from your database.
::iii. Once you’ve created and edited the capture, save it, then enter that file name in the “BBBBBBB” portion of the citation template. See step #9 ([[Adding_New_Citations_-_Detailed#Save_it_again|Save it again]]) for next steps regarding the screen capture.
:e. Delete all the instructions if you’d like to keep the edit screen clean. (They won’t show up outside of edit mode regardless.)

== Add categories (tags) at the bottom: ==
:a. Be sure to use the categories APA and Business, as well as ones for your database name and (if required) the database subsection/subtype.
:b. Separate each category/tag by a semi-colon.
:c. (I.e., always include both APA and Business as tags on any citations you submit, but also add some to reflect your specific resource.)
:d. ''Optional'': If you are planning to also create a landing page that lists only your library's resources, add your institution's initials as a tag as outlined on [[Adding New Citations - Institutional Lists|this page]].

== Save it again ==
:a. After saving, you should see red text in the “here” part of ''"Click here for details on where to find these elements within the document"''. Click on that “here” and upload a copy of your image. No tags/categories required.

== Done! ==

SFU-1:

If you'd like to create your very own landing page in this wiki -- one that will list ''only'' the citations for the resources subscribed to by your library, and one that will allow you to add some text about your library, follow the simple steps below...

'''1.''' Add your institution's name or initialism (SFU, BCIT, etc.) as a category/tag to each of your target resources.

'''2.''' Then click on one of those tags to get to the Category Page for that tag -- one that will list all resources with that tag.

'''3.''' This is the important part: add the following text to the top of that page: <nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki>

That bit of code will make it so that your tags don't show up on the citations -- the whole wiki would quickly get too cluttered if all possible institutional tags were shown.

Notes:

'''a.''' Your page will appear blank on the editing screen when you first add "<nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki>" to it. The resources appear automatically.

'''b.''' You may want to also add some text below "<nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki>" to talk about your school a bit: maybe a link to your library's general APA guide or to AskAway...

Sample institutional landing page: [[:Category:UCW|UCW]].
