Ever wonder how to document a web page in Chicago style? Or how about an instant message in MLA style? This book covers it all. It's an indispensable reference for any student or scholar who needs tips on performing electornic research and how to cite electronic references in MLA, APA, Chicago or CBE style.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful reference for any student, April 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Research and Documentation in the Electronic Age (Spiral-bound)

As a writing teacher, I find this book very helpful in explaining research and documentation to my students. It presents basic research books, web sites, and indexes in almost every discipline, which makes it easy to send students working on any topic to the right starting point. There are dozens of books which explain documentation, but this is the best source I've seen for actual research tips.
