Someone please help me site sources from a textbook.
I got some information from my text book, but how do I source it if there are 4 editors? Do i have to list all of them and then the page number? Or can I get away with listing one, and the page?

1. What style manual are you supposed to use?

3. MLA. That link helps somewhat, thanks. But what does intext look like?

Btw, is congress usually capitalized? I'm not sure if it is a proper or a regular noun.

99% sure you cap Congress.

PS-there was this great site that you typed the info into and it arranged it for you, but now I cannot find it. I will PM you if I remember it.

4. For starters, you "cite" sources, not "site" them.
If you're using the Chicago Manual of Style, PM me. I edited for an academic press for eight years using that manual.
