MLA & APA Citation Guides: APA Citation Examples

We’ve designed this guide to explain: • What citations are • How you use them in your written assignments • Why it’s important to use them • How they are formatted

MLA Citation Examples by Type of Resource

Below are two charts containing APA citations formatted with hanging indents: one for the printed kind (as in a book which you check out in the library), and the other for the electronic kind (as in what you usually "check out" via the Web/internet). If you don't see an example that suits your source, ask a librarian for help.

At the bottom of this page, there are three links to handouts for you to download/print:

First is a PDF handout of the citation examples displayed below
Second is a PDF that reviews the steps for setting up a hanging indent to help you format your References page
Third is a Word document that is preformatted in APA style that you can use as the basis of your own research papers
