First, you must determine which style guide you want to use. If you are
publishing, you will use The Chicago Manual of Style. For academic writing, you
will use MLA, APA, Turabian, or another style. For news writing, you might use
AP style. These style guides will tell you what kind of information to use and
how to cite it. They are usually available in the local library. If you just
need something generic, simply include all the information needed for a person
to find the source. Here are two examples:
"Tunisia." CultureGrams 2005 World Edition. Lindon, Utah:
ProQuest Information and Learning, 2004.
OR
"Peru." CultureGrams. Vers. 2005. CultureGrams/ProQuest Information and
Learning: Lindon, Utah. 05 Feb. 2005. http://online.culturegrams.com/secure/world/world_country.php?contid=7&wmn=South_America&cid=125&cn=Peru.
Adapt these examples to other CultureGrams products.
