CITING INTERNET
RESOURCES
As a teacher assigning
high school students research, I would recommend Lafayette College Library
site, http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~library/guides/cite.html
for MLA or APA formats for bibliographic
citations of online sources. This website is userfriendly, especially for
high school students. The information is written clearly and concisely,
in easy to understand language. There is not alot of unecessary information
to confuse the student. The site gives good examples of both styles for citing
internet sources. The site starts out by stating the components that the
user will need to know in order to cite properly. These components include
the author of the page, the actual title, the date of publication for the
page, the URL of the page, and date of access. This site then
goes over the three formats for documentation, MLA, APA, and Chicago style,
with examples of each. This way, the site can be useful for whichever
format is required. I selected this site because it makes it very easy
to know what information you use, and also tells you what to do when you
can’t find that information.
