Title: Sources
Description: "The Sources web site was prepared for the instruction and use of Dartmouth undergraduate students and is set up so that it can be used as a handbook to consult when writing papers. The preface includes an excellent discussion of why the student must cite sources, with clear examples of the different kinds of plagiarism. Quotes from Dartmouth's Student Handbook make the point even more clearly. The large 'Examples' section demonstrates the format for bibliographies and footnotes, following the APA, MLA and Science citation styles, as well as MLA's note style. A bibliography of resources is provided for those wishing to use other styles. There is a good alphabetical site index as well as a table of contents. A FAQ section provides some examples of special problems, such as works of art and computer programs. It is important to note that electronic sources are well represented in this very useful writing resource"--"Best Free Reference Web Sites 2001." RUSA Quarterly, Fall 2001; reviewed Apr. 4, 2001.
