Research Paper Assistance
- MLA 2009 Formatting and Style Guide
- RefWorks - a web-based citation management tool that offers a way to collect, store, and manage reference information, research notes, and documents. The service works with your word processor to mangage in-text citations and to build bibliographies in nearly any format (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). Everything you collect - notes, quotations, file attachments - becomes part of a searchable database which you can reach into whenever you want to add a citation to your paper or create a bibliography for it.
