Use the Cite function - but don't trust it!

Proquest eBook Central gives you a reference for the ebooks you look at. IT IS NOT A CORRECT APA REFERENCE. Don't trust it!

Use the information there to check against the Wintec APA Guides before you submit your assignments. Proquest eBook Central's version of APA is not the same as Wintec's.

Always use the Wintec APA Guides to make sure your reference is correct!
