  1. Citation examples and recommendations DELAMAN 2006 Heidi Johnson Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America

  2. General observations • The crucial concern is making sure that readers can locate the cited work. • There are typically two main creators to be acknowledged: the researcher and the speaker. • Often, esp. w/older resources, only the researcher's name is known. • Academics probably want to see their resources listed under their names first.

  3. Questions • Cite by bundle (recording+texts) or by component (recording only)? • Different people create different components, so components may not sort together. • Can we dispense with access time&date, on the grounds that archived resources are permanent? • Does it matter what the specific format is? • It might not be wav 100 years from now, but it will still be audio.

  10. Citation components I • Primary responsibility. The name of the person(s) who have primary responsibility for creating the resource. • Date created. Year only. • Title • Subordinate responsibility. The collector, depositor, project, etc. if relevant and not already in (1).

  11. Citation components II • Archive. Full name + web site or address. • UID or Catalog number. The identifier used to locate the resource in the collection. • Type of resource: Audio, text, video, photo, etc. List all the types in a bundle. • Availability and access.
