What’s Site is best?

 

          I found the Write source to be the most helpful website for citing in MLA and APA.  This webpage is easy to use and lets you choose what works best for you.  It has great examples and divides MLA and APA into two different sections.  I would suggest this web page to my students mainly because it is easy to navigate your way through.  Each section is clearly identified by dividers and headings.  Also, there is a brief background on both MLA and APA at the top of each section.  This is very useful for students who are not sure why they are using a specific citing technique.  The Write Source even tells you to print this out so you will always have the information with you.  This way students only have to remember the wed address once and they will have to printout for all other MLA and APA electronic citing they will need in the future.  Whether you are looking for in-text citing or just in your reference section, The Write Source is there to guide you with helpful tips and examples that make citing electronic sources much easier.  The Write Source also helps to show students the importance of proper citation.
