The American Psychological Association has announced that it will release the 7th edition of the APA Manual in October 2019. Read more from APA here. We have preordered numerous copies — enough for each unit library to have the same number of copies of the 7th edition, as it has of the 6th. As of today, it’s not possible to know exactly when these copies will arrive, but as soon as APA releases them, they will work through the process of being added to the library collection.
APA is also hinting at the availability of an ebook version of the 7th edition, and we’re watching for more details about this too. As you know, we need to wait to hear from APA what kind of ebook they’ll be offering, in order to know whether it will be possible for us to add it to the collection. It is possible (though please note, we don’t know for sure yet) that they will offer an ebook only for individual people to purchase, excluding libraries. With questions, please contact csu@ualberta.ca any time.
With thanks to Kathy Urban and the monograph ordering team for working on this complex order!
