General Considerations:
1.  Name of the author, editor, compiler, or translator of the source if available and relevant, reversed for alphabetizing and followed by an abbreviation, such as ed., if appropriate.
2.   Title of a poem, short story, article, or similar short work within a scholarly project, database, or periodical (in quotation marks); or title of a posting to a discussion list or forum (taken from the subject line and put in quotation marks), followed by the description Online posting.
3.    Title of a book (underlined)
