This category includes books and reference books such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, and discipline-specific reference books. It also includes books that are published in electronic form only, reference works and public domain books available online, and out-of-print books that may be available only in online repositories.

• If there are no page numbers, the chapter or entry title is sufficient.
• When the author and publisher are the same, use the word Author as the name of the publisher.
• Alphabetize books with no author or editor by the first significant words in the title. In the text citation, use a few words of the title, or the whole title if it is short, in place of an author name.
• Place information about editions, volume numbers, and page numbers (such as revised edition, volume number, or chapter page range) in parentheses following the title, with the period after the parentheses: (Rev. ed.) or (Vol. xx, pp. xxx-xxx). As with periodicals, for any nonroutine information that is important for identification and retrieval, place a description of content in brackets following the title: [Brochure]
• For major reference works with a large editorial board, you may list the name of the lead editor, followed by et al.
• For books or chapters available only online, the electronic retrieval statement takes the place of publisher location and name (see Examples 19-22, 24).
