NWAS LIS - Not got enough to do ....

Hello,

I saw an article on how to cite Twitter/Tweets doing the electronic rounds. The source is The Atlantic [ http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/03/how-do-you-cite-a-tweet-in-an-academic-paper/253932/ ], but it is based on the MLA not the APA (Harvard friendly). Did a little investigating and found the APA view on this [ http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2009/10/how-to-cite-twitter-and-facebook-part-ii.html ].  Finally motivated to update the NWAS Harvard Style Guide as well - slightly modified APA viz.

Style

User Name, Day Month Year. Tweet text in its entirety. [Twitter post]. Available from: Tweet address [Accessed Date].

Example

NWASLibrary, 19 December 2011. NWAS LIS - Library & Information Services (LIS) are good for your organisation. Find out why and how. [Twitter post]. Available from: https://twitter.com/#!/NWASLibrary/status/148821678321963009 [Accessed 12 March 2012].

A complete list of ALL Harvard Styles in the NW including the now modified NWAS can be found here [ http://www.networks.nhs.uk/nhs-networks/nwas-library-and-information-service/guides/citing-references]

Best Wishes

Matt
