 The first thing to do is to learn how to use The New St. Martin's Handbook. Spend some time working out the combinations of the various possibilities for variations within the form. The Handbook is, however, a simplified and shortened explanation of the full documentation styles (MLA, APA, etc.); you may discover that there are situations you encounter that are not clearly covered in the Handbook's section on documentation. When you find yourself in that situation, try some of these internet sites for help. MLA Documentation MLA (Modern Language Association) documentation is the standard for papers in literature, languages, and some of the other humanities disciplines. For a site that provides an overview of MLA style, go to http://juno.concordia.ca/faqs/mlanetscape.html For more detail, try http://www.mtsac.edu/~jgarrett/mlaweb.htm Even then, the way to cite online documents can be difficult to figure out. The best solution: ask your professor. I promise I won't count something wrong if I've told you to do it the way you do it! APA Documentation APA (American Psychological Association) documentation is used for papers in psychology and many of the social sciences. A good site for information on APA documentation is http://www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/DocAPA.html Still stuck? e-mail me at rallen@georgetowncollege.edu and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Chicago Manual of Style Chicago style is used by a number of disciplines. For information on it, go to http://www.fsu.edu/~library/guides/chicago.html
