A brief note dated 3.31.13 and signed PhL, in which Phil admits he has paid little attention to citation format. He lists example styles from a web guide (initials after surnames, date first) and from the MLA (Cornell library guide), plus a Kidder book citation. He concludes that every organization differs and he will use his own style, likely for the references of his spectral theory book.

How to cite references PhL 3.31.13
I have not paid much attention to this, and probably I have done it wrong.
1. Here is one recommendation (a private item)
http://tim.thorpeallen.net/Courses/Reference/Citations.html
and his examples look like this
Ingmanson, D. E. and Wallace, W. J., 1985, Oceanography: An Introduction, Wadsworth, Belmont, CA, 530 p.
Notice initials afeter first name, date up front. See site for more comments.
2. The Modern Language Association (MLA) establishes ....
http://www.library.cornell.edu/resrch/citmanage/mla
Lowi, Theodore, Benjamin Ginsberg, and Steve Jackson. Analyzing American Government: American Government, Freedom and Power. 3rd ed. New York: Norton, 1994. Print.
Their strange feature is that the first other is done last name first while the others are not. This source does not use initials. Notice also the strange city: publisher,date idea. The word Print is also strange.
Other suggestions:
Kidder, T. (1981). The soul of a new machine. Boston, MA: Little, Brown & Company.
It seems that every organization is different, so I will just do it my way.
