Handout - Google Books tools
Google Books can be used conveniently for referencing.
- URL shortening
Typical long URLs like
contain the search term and can be shortened to
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=PMaszIALuVYC&pg=PA59
showing the essentials only (Google key is PMas and page number is 59). Usually page numbers are prefixed by PA but there are other possibilities such as PR and PT.
- Citation tool
URLs (long or short) can be copied into the tool at
Reftag.appspot.com
for a Wikipedia footnote like
<ref name="Wynn2007">{{cite book|author=Neil A. Wynn|title=Cross the Water Blues: African American Music in Europe|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=PMaszIALuVYC&pg=PA59|accessdate=26 October 2012|year=2007|publisher=Univ. Press of Mississippi|isbn=978-1-57806-960-6|pages=59–}}</ref>
This uses . and names the reference so it can be reused as <ref name="Wynn2007"/>. Edit “pages=59–“ to “page=59” to refer to a single page.
