Conclusion
Congratulations! By successfully working your way through these advanced exercises, you have given yourself a thorough grounding in how to reference a range of complex resources. This site has no further citation rules to teach you. However, two points to stress now that you've completed this tutorial:
1) Good Citation Practice
Mastering the rules of how to cite accurately a resource the first time you use it is only a small part of what makes good citation practice. You should also understand how to use footnotes appropriately, where they should be placed, and how you can limit their number and length. We discuss some of the broader principles behind good citation practice in the Citation Techniques and Theory section of this site.
2) Dealing with the Unfamiliar
While this site has tried to offer instruction in dealing with a wide variety of resources, you will in your own work come across resources that pose unique challenges to the footnoter that are not covered in this tutorial. You can find some further guidance in the MHRA Style Guide. However, you may also have to determine your own method of footnoting the unique resource. At this point it is important to remember: firstly, to be consistent in applying whatever method you choose; and secondly, to ensure that your method allows your readers to locate the resource themselves quickly and easily.
