“For ethical reasons the Library Staff does not provide legal, medical, or citation advice.  All style manuals are different and all instructors interpret the guidelines established within the style manuals differently, so we can point you to the page that describes how references should be cited; however, we cannot tell you whether or not your interpretation of the description is correct.  If you have questions, you should always speak to your instructor, as they may want it cited a certain way.”
