Revealing Other Sources

Every significant resource you use requires citation. Items that may require a citation include:
  • Letters
  • Personal communications
  • Ancient texts
  • Any other significant item used as a source in a paper.
Items from the art world that require citation.
  • Films
  • Television shows
  • Artworks such as paintings, photographs, or sculptures.
  • Performances such as plays, opera, dance, or other performance art.
  • Written guidance for any performance such as scripts or sheet music, but also any other written guidance.

Likely, when your paper incidentally mentions artwork, you might omit the citation (if permitted by your professor or audience). However, more substantial use of any source mentioned above or any other source however seemingly unlikely, you need an appropriate citation and bibliography entry.

  • Example citation:
Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Kubrick 1964) reflects the cold war anxiety over the threat of nuclear war.
  • Example bibliography entry:
Kubrick, S. (1964) Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (film),  Columbia Pictures Corporation.

Although APA guidance may require more information in the bibliography, this entry will be adequate for Professor Williams' courses.
