A question I’ll get at the reference desk, particularly in
Term Paper Season, revolves around how to format paper citations in the format
requested by the teacher. The site I
like in reference to this particular question is The Purdue Online Writing Lab
(http://owl.english.purdue.edu/). This site is dedicated to helping you with
your writing skills generally --- but it particularly goes into a wealth of
detail about the major citation styles.
From the main page, for example, click into APA Formatting and Style
Guide (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/)
to find everything you need to know about formatting a paper in this
style. The site covers APA, MLA, and
Chicago Manual.
