How do I cite an item in the PaPD collection?

  • When viewing an individual item, beneath the item itself and located to the right of the title is a Cite This button
    • Cite This generates three citation options:  for MLA, APA, and Chicago style
      • Please Note:  these citations are automatically generated and may be incomplete; please double-check any automatically generated citations before using them
  • To see the persistent URL for the object, click the Cite This button and locate the web address located in either the APA or Chicago citation
    • Please Note:  The persistent URL found in the citation may differ from the address listed in your browser’s address bar; the URL found in the citation should always be the one used for citations or in foot/end notes, as browsers occasionally add additional characters into displayed addresses
