Page numbers
If you are quoting or are using ideas from a specific page or pages of a work,
the in-text citation should include the page number(s).
If you are referring to only one page of a book, type p. before the page number
e.g. (Milner & OByrne, 2009, p. 20).
If you are referring to more than one page of a book, type pp. before the page
numbers e.g. (Milner & OByrne, 2009, pp. 20-32).
If you are quoting from an ebook which does not display page numbers, name the
major sections (often the chapter, section, and paragraph number). This is an
example of a direct quotation: One of the authors points is that people dont rise
from nothing (Gladwell, 2008, Chapter 1, Section 2, para. 5).
