On Full Citations
We have engaged two texts so far in this course:L. Frank Baum, The Annotated Wizard of Oz. Centennial Edition. Ed., intro., notes by Michael Patrick Hearn. Illus. by W. W. Denslow. NY: W. W. Norton & Co., 2000.
The Wizard of Oz (1939). Directed by Victor Fleming, et al. Written by Noel Langley, Florence Ryerson, and Edgar Allen Woolf, et al. MGM, 1939.
When you discuss these texts on-line, on this blog, you do not need to provide the full citation. For Hearn's annotated text, use (Baum [page number]); for the film, use (Wizard of Oz 1939: [time signature, if available]). If you are citing text from another source - for example, an on-line copy of the screenplay - you must provide a full citation to that source.
Once a source has been listed on the blog, you do not need to provide a full citation again. Just be sure that the source is clearly identified - i.e., distinguish between the book (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) and the film (Wizard of Oz (1939)). However, you should provide a link. Providing a hyperlink on blogger is relatively easy: select the passage of text you wish to serve as a link, click on the "hyperlink" button in the posting toolbar (it looks like a planet with a chainlink attached), and type in the address in the dialog box that appears. When possible on this blog, if you're making reference to a text, provide a link to the text in question - even if it's just a listing on Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com, or an entry in our library. When possible, include a link to the posting that provided the full citation (such as this one for the two sources above).
