OPAC is a catalogue. Catalogue includes all books in Vienna.

On the Linguistic Style sheet page 9, page10 and page 12 were covered during the tutorial.

On page 9 we covered Bibliography or list of works cited. It means how to quote someone.

An example of citing books:

Collins, Peter, and Carmella Hollo. English Grammar : an introduction. Basingstoke : Macmillan, 2000.

The title of the book should be italicized. In the exam you can underline it. In our example the word phrase which should be underlined should be English Grammar : an introduction.

As you can see, it is already italicized in the example, so there is no need to underline it.

An example of citing Articles:

Mengel, Ewald. "´Yes! in the sea of Life Enisled`: Harold Pinter`s Other Places." Pinter at 70.

Title of anthology should be italicized. In our example it is Pinter at 70 as you can already see. In the exam you can underline Pinter at 70 to indicate that it should be italicized.
