How to Cite VOD

When writing a term paper, it is important to correctly cite all sources that you use in a reference list at the end of your paper. Just as with text sources, all video sources that you explicitly reference must be cited. Cite video on demand in the same way that you would cite any streaming video that you accessed on the internet. The exact format you should use will depend on whether you are adhering to APA or MLA guidelines.
