When working on a book chapter recently, I also ran into this problem. Two
websites that I can suggest are "Citing electronic sources in APA style"
(URL: http://www.apsu.edu/~lesterj/cyber4.htm ) and "How to cite Information
from the Internet and the World Wide Web" (URL:
http://www.apa.org/journals/webref.html ). I found the first one more useful,
but the second one just verifies what APA expects when referencing materials
found on the web. Essentially, you are going to want to reference both the
printed source and the Internet information and these sites describe how.
