Hi, this is Camille and welcome to this short YouTube tutorial for how to cite a
website, a book, a YouTube video, and a picture in PowerPoint.
Citing in PowerPoint isn't terribly different from other mediums that you may be
working in. However, there are a few differences that I would like to point out.
First, let's talk about how to cite a website in PowerPoint.
Here are some of the common elements you may need to reference when citing a
website, website or author name, page name or article title,
exact URL of website or page date of publication.
Here's an example of how it might look in APA and an MLA formatting.
Now the first thing you want to do is make sure that you have the full URL of
the website that you are actually citing in your presentation to make sure you
don't lose that exact URL. In this situation,
I have the full URL here of the exact page that this content here is referring
to and you'll notice here I actually have the name of the author of the website.
So this could be anything from you know,
a newyorktimes.com or whatever it is.
It's the name of it will be the New York times here.
And then this is the title of the actual article that I'm citing that's on the
web and I've decided to not put the full URL here in the uh,
in the actual text body of the text because that would be a bit too much text to
put all in one place.
So I've just added a little superscript one here that is referring back to this
text that's in the footer area so that it's clear that this is the exact source
that I am citing from. Another way to do that,
it will be to just even remove further information here and put more of it
inside the source area down here below in the footer part of the slide.
Another example here, we have a similar URL here.
We have the full exact URL and we also referenced the author of the, uh,
of the report that we're referencing.
That's an online report that's here on by booking.com.
Now another and final way to site websites in PowerPoint is to create a sources
cited slide that you can have either at the very end of your presentation or at
the end of a section that actually lists out the full details of the websites
that you are referring to in your, in the copy of your presentation.
Now,
if you want to learn more about how to create this exact superscript one here,
this in-text citation versus a not in text citation or to create how to create a
sources cited slide,
check out this other YouTube video that I've created on how to cite properly in
PowerPoint onscreen now. Next,
let's look at how to cite a book in PowerPoint.
Here are some of the common elements that you may need to reference when citing
a book, author name, book title, publication date and location,
and publisher name.
Here's an example of how it might look in APA and an MLA format.
Now, for books,
you may or may not have some extra details that you need to make sure that you
reference in your presentation for your citations. So for example,
in this situation I have the author's name and the date here listed as an in
text citation that goes right after this quote and I also have listed the author
and the full name of the book along with the publisher here in the footer area
of the slide.
You may or may not need this much information depending on which type of
citation you are actually or citation style you're actually using.
In this next example,
I simply have this author's name and the date listed after the quote here,
and that's enough. Again,
you can decide if you want to have a sources cited page.
This may be in addition or in replacement of some of these different styles.
Again,
you have to double check your citation style and make sure that you're following
all those rules correctly. But this would be another way to add the um, the,
the citation of the sources that you are referring to in your presentation.
Next, let's talk about how to cite a YouTube video in PowerPoint.
Here's some of the common elements you may need to reference when citing a
YouTube video creator's name or screen name, video title, video URL,
website name and publication date.
Here's an example of how it might look in APA and MLA formatting.
In your presentation, if you are embedding a video from, from the web,
from YouTube, from somebody else,
you want to make sure that you include all the relevant information for someone
to be able to go back and find the video that you were referencing and watch it
and to also make sure you're giving credit back to the author.
Some things you want to include are the title of the video,
the name of the author and the date along with the URL. In this example,
I actually have a sources cited slide where I list out all the details of the
video along with the URL where I retrieved this video. So in other words,
the actual URL of the video on YouTube itself.
And that is one way to make sure that you are referencing everything.
This might not be enough depending on the citation style that you're using or it
may be enough because someone could look up this information on YouTube and find
this video. So it's two kinds of ways to do this,
but you want to make sure that you are including as much information as possible
and that you are following the citation's style that you are being asked to
follow.
And finally let's talk about how to cite a picture in PowerPoint.
Here are the common elements you may need to reference when citing a Picture.
Creator's name, title of the picture, date and location of publication,
publisher or website, picture URL.
Here's an example of how it might look in APA and MLA formatting.
And citing a picture in PowerPoint is very similar to all the other,
the other types of content that you are citing in PowerPoint. However it,
you may also need to include a URL,
especially if you have found that picture online. So in this example,
I've taken a picture here from somebody on flicker and I've made sure that the
image is copyright free. And so I'm allowed to use this picture properly.
That is the number one mistake that people make. They find a web,
a picture online and they assume that it is usable in their presentation and
unfortunately it is often not the case so you want to make sure that you are
checking out the copyright rules for that particular image or that you are
purchasing the image and therefore getting a license to use it in your
presentation.
Now here I've put the photo credit to Kevin Bueller and I have included the URL
where I retrieved the image so that someone could go back in and find that this
picture. You can also do a similar example as I mentioned before,
create a sources cited slide where you list out the full details including the
title of the photograph and where you found it online.
I hope you found this video helpful.
