Yes.  For instance, if you were citing this passage which appears on pages 26-27 of a book by an author with the last name Russell, you would add 'Russell' and '26-7' in your citation, as in this example:

Progressive education has always involved conflict between upholding disciplinary standards and promoting social equity (Russell 26-7).

OR if citing multiple pages but from different portions of the book:

Progressive education has always involved conflict between upholding disciplinary standards and promoting social equity, though Russell later states that conflict can be avoided by using specific techniques (Russell 26-7, 32).

  6. Could you clarify if the page numbers should appear as 26-27 or as 26-7?

  7. Hello kristie_metz@hcpss.org. You are right, in this case it would be 26-7. If the additional page falls above 20 something you would need to add the first digit as well, like 26-32. And if a page used is not sequential but additional, it would be like the last example, 26-7, 32.
