Using Sources

Rather than simply providing a list of how-to document in various systems, Writer's Web aims to explore why we incorporate direct quotations and paraphrases into our work.

Explore the left-hand menu for several guides to the art of using and documenting sources. We also recommend a few external sites with good information on the art of citation.
