5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Historiography!
This book is a great supplement for history students. It is short and to the point, it reads well and it has valuable information about integrating sources into term papers, theses and dissertations. It provides how-to information on writing historically that other writer's manuals do not.

2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated Style Sheet...Doesn't Address Web Sources
With a 1998 copyright, one might expect this manual to be a bit outdated. It's unfortunate, because otherwise, it's an excellent reference at a very inexpensive price. The section on electronic sources doesn't adequately deal with the proliferation of electronic databases, websites, and other new media. You'd be better off using one of the many free online MLA...

5.0 out of 5 stars Better to teach citation than to punish plagiarism, November 13, 2006
This review is from: Writing With Sources: A Guide for Students (Paperback)
Too many college writing guides tell students what *not* to do without giving them sufficient instruction on how to craft original papers. I assign this book to all my undergraduates, and I think it has helped considerably in cutting down instances of plagiarism and other misuse of sources.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Text used @ Harvard to this day, excellent reference, NOT one of those books you throw away or sell after class. Relevant at all academic levels and life after.

The section on electronic sources doesn't adequately deal with the proliferation of electronic databases, websites, and other new media. You'd be better off using one of the many free online MLA formatting pages available on university websites.
