| Someone please help me site sources from a textbook. |
|
I got some information from my text book, but how do I source it if there are 4 editors? Do i have to list all of them and then the page number? Or can I get away with listing one, and the page?

Btw, is congress usually capitalized? I'm not sure if it is a proper or a regular noun.

99% sure you cap Congress.
PS-there was this great site that you typed the info into and it arranged it for you, but now I cannot find it. I will PM you if I remember it.

| 4. For starters, you "cite" sources, not "site" them. |
|
If you're using the Chicago Manual of Style, PM me. I edited for an academic press for eight years using that manual.
