29
2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications – Additional Citation Formatting Examples Lawyers and law students often refer to the “Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation”; less helpful for those working outside that legal context The Debora Cheney reference book (below) is helpful, but the older publication date means it will be weaker in guidance for government publications located online In addition to PAF 101’s MOD 2 APA Guide (via Penn State U.) - for more examples of U.S. Government Publication citation formatting – consider:PAF 101’s MOD 2 APA Guide (via Penn State U.) Cheney, D. (2002). The complete guide to citing government information resources. Bethesda, MD: LexisNexis, Congressional Information Service {J 9.5 G37 2002, Bird Library – 3 rd Floor – Government Reference (does not circulate)} Brief Guide to Citing Government Publications. University Libraries, University of Memphis http://www.memphis.edu/govpub/citweb.php (excellent!...except beware their example for citing publications with Congress as author (such as a U.S. Senate or U.S. House hearing) strays from the norm. If citing such hearings, examples on the previous and subsequent slides are preferred! http://www.memphis.edu/govpub/citweb.php Citing Government Publications. Syracuse University Libraries Subject Guide http://researchguides.library.syr.edu/content.php?pid=43416&sid=320357 http://researchguides.library.syr.edu/content.php?pid=43416&sid=320357

2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications – Examples of variation when citing Congress vs. a non-Congressional agency If a U.S. Senate (or U.S. House) hearing is what you cite, notice that the title of the hearing is listed first, where normally a personal or organizational author would be listed: – for List of References Ending the school-to-prison pipeline. U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary. (2014). Hearing, December 12, 2012, Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office. – In text citation (Ending the school-to-prison pipeline, 2014) *also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase By contrast, the example you see at the PAF 101 APA guide via Penn State – for a situation where one is citing a report from a non-Congressional U.S. government agency - lists the name of the issuing agency as an organizational author: – for List of References U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. (2000). Breaking the cycle of domestic violence: Know the facts. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office. – In text citation (U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, 2000) *also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase
