Notes on style

• Interviews can be used as references if recoverable by your reader (e.g., transcripts or audio/video files/recordings). Treat private or informal interviews as personal communications (See Other sources, Personal communication).
• Give the interviewee’s name at the beginning of the entry. Give the title, if there is one, in quotation marks followed by the interviewer’s name. If no title, use the statement ‘Interview by’ and the interviewer’s name. Format the rest of the entry according to the category of material accessed.
