How to Reference Books and Articles in Text
Before computers, we used our typewriters to underline book titles and we placed quotation marks around article titles. Some organizations still prefer this method. However, current style manuals recommend
italicizing book titles and magazine names (impossible to do on a typewriter) and using quotation marks around articles.
Example: I read Lord of the Flies in high school.
Example: I enjoyed reading “Become Your Own Best Friend” in Newsweek.
Due to the E-Newsletter's large readership, we are unable to respond to individual English usage questions. |
