Where to enter newspaper section?

Post by Madwen »

Do I enter the newspaper section (ie - Section B) in the Volume field or in the Pages field? Or do you have to use one of the user fields for that? If you are supposed to enter it in the pages field, does Bookends ignore it when looking at date ranges for a search? Seems like Volume would be the right place but I was not sure. I could not find a single reference to this in the documentation.

Hi Madwen,

I am editing a previous post I made, now that I've done a bit of research.

According to the APA Newspaper Article format, the section belongs with the page. I copied this information and example for an unsigned newspaper article from this web site: http://www.miracosta.edu/home/jmegill/S ... igned.html


Headline. (Year of publication, month day). Title of newspaper, p. page number or pp. page numbers.

Example:

Women earn high marks on a web test. (1997, July 3). New York Times, p. D6.

Hey thanks for responding, Jon. I use mostly CMS and that is what provoked my question since a CMS newspaper cite would read "author, title, paper, date, sec. X, pp 1-2" as opposed to the APA "X1-2".

As for my other (botched) question, sorry I was tired.... obviously.

In your case I think either User1/User2 or Volume would make sense. You'd just have to edit the format to output the one you entered.

This will be a bit easier to deal with in future upgrade, BTW.
