What is a compilation textbook?
A collection of selected material taken from other authors.
Reference as if you found their work in the original source. Check the information at the front of the compilation textbook for the details of sources used. You may find some information is missing and you will need to locate the original source, e.g. first names and page numbers (if you are quoting or paraphrasing).
The format of the reference will be determined by what the original source is, e.g. a chapter in an edited book, journal article etc.
The following example comes from a textbook compiled by the La Trobe Business School, Business Foundations: For La Trobe University (2016).
