Quick Tips

References to brochures or pamphlets are formatted in the same way as those to entire books. If the author is a corporation or organization, begin the reference with the corporate author.

Often a brochure or a pamphlet will not contain all of the information you require for a reference. If there is no date of publication, you may supply an approximate date in square brackets, e.g. [2018] or [circa 2018].

In many cases, the corporate author of the pamphlet is also the publisher. If so, you may use an abbreviation for the publisher's name in your reference.

Pamphlets & Brochures

Information required for a reference to a brochure or pamphlet includes:

• Author or corporate author
• Title
• Publisher
• Copyright date
