Helpful Hints:
- Copy/paste the proper list to go with your quotes and citations, to stay organized.
- For Web-based sources, use credible academic journal articles and government reports--they are free, well-organized, well-supported and well-documented, and they provide needed info for citations and bibliography entries: author, title, page, etc. Please do not waste time on web sources that are shallow, unhelpful and not credible.
