Referencing Taylor & Francis E-books
For ākonga/students using APA 7th Referencing (Most students at Unitec)
When you first access the home page of a Taylor & Francis E-book, this icon appears:
Clicking on that will give you a reference for the e-book in APA 7th format. However, the reference quite likely isn't correct.
IMPORTANT: Always double-check the Taylor & Francis -generated with the example on the Unitec APA 7th referencing guide to check it is correct.
(For example: 'libproxy.unitec.ac.nz' should not appear in the DOI).
For ākonga/students using Chicago 17th Referencing (Architecture students)
Use the Chicago 17th referencing guide to correctly cite this e-book. (See the 'Electronic books' section.)
