How can I cite a particular Country Study in a bibliography?
For information about the title, editor, and date of information of a particular study, please refer to the first entry in the table of contents of the online study, which should be the name of the country. That information along with the Web site’s URL can be included in any commonly accepted format for online sources. For hardcover editions, a suggested format would be as follows, taking the example of the Country Study on Turkey: Metz, Helen Chapin, ed. Turkey: A Country Study. Washington: GPO for the Library of Congress, 1996. The date of publication of a hardcover study is generally one year later than the date of research completion, which is the only date included in the online study. However, to be certain of the actual publication date, you would need to consult the Library of Congress catalogue (http://www.loc.gov/catalog/), look at the publication data in the published volume, or send an e-mail query to frds@loc.gov.
