Only the titles of books and the names of journals, newspapers or magazines are in italics (or they may be underlined instead), while the titles of articles and of book chapters are in single inverted commas. You will also notice that the convention has also been followed of replacing second (and subsequent) references attributable to the same author by single underlining about six spaces long.

One final point on sources: if appropriate, you should also note any people and/ or organisations you have consulted about the subject of your essay. In the present case there might be a list of interviews undertaken, in which would be recorded the discussion with ‘George Murphy’, followed by the date.
