(CSE 8th; 29.3.7.11)
The CSE 8th edition style guide classifies sound recordings as "Audiovisuals". Bibliography citations for sound recordings are formatted using basic elements very similar to those found in citations to other print documents like books and journals (e.g author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and extent).
However, "medium designator" information must be included to indicate the specialized equipment required to access the audiovisual content (e.g. DVD, CD-ROM, Internet, MP3, Slides, Microfiche, vinyl LP, audiocassette, videocassette). This "medium designator" can also be used to indicate a content type different than standard book or journal materials (e.g. photograph, painting, motion picture).
Required citation elements include the author(s), document title, medium designator, place of publication, publisher, publication date.
Optional elements include extent (i.e. pagination) and notes. For an sound recording, extent corresponds to the duration of the recording cited in minutes. The "Notes" field provides succinct clarifying and/or location information useful for creating an unambiguous citation.
