How do I format a title of a work (such as a book) within my text?
If you are including the title of a book or an article in the body of your paper, make sure to use title case by capitalizing the major words in the title.
Example: Fundamentals of Nursing
Remember, however, that in your reference list, you should use sentence case and only capitalize the first word of the title, the first word after a colon, and any proper nouns.
For more details, see pages 167-168 of the manual.
