Guide to University Style: AP Stylebook and Libel Manual

All individuals who are responsible for preparing copy for print and electronic communications will want to purchase copies of the AP Stylebook and Webster’s New World College Dictionary  for handy reference. Both reference works are available from the University Bookstore in the Kent Student Center. Students in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications sell the AP Stylebook as a fundraising effort. Call the school at 330-672-2572 for details. The AP Stylebook is organized alphabetically by general category. For example if you have question about whether B.A. requires periods or bachelor’s degree needs an apostrophe, you should look under the entry academic degrees. Style questions regarding numbers are answered under the entry numbers. The stylebook has specialized sections for Sports Guidelines and Style, Business Guidelines and Style and a Guide to Punctuation.
