- Fulwiler, Toby, Alan R. Hayakawa, and Cheryl Kupper. The College Writer's Reference. Upper Saddle River, NJ:Prentice Hall, 1996. This general reference book about writing discusses issues of academic honesty and offers guides to the MLA and APA styles of citation, among others. In addition, it discusses the process of writing and answers grammatical and usage questions.
- Harvey, Gordon. Writing with Sources: A Guide for Students. Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing Co, Inc., 1998. This little book has an excellent set of "Common Questions about Sources." A small book, worth buying if you want a guide focusing solely on how to use sources in academic papers.
- Gibaldi, Joseph. MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers 6th ed. New York: MLA, 2003. This is the most up-to-date information on this style of citation. If you're majoring in a subject area having to do with languages, this book may be a good investment. If you don't need something this complete, a general reference book with a short section on MLA, such as Fulwiler et al., may suffice. Remember that guidebooks to all forms of citation are available in the Grinnell College libraries.
- Citing Your Research, a page on the Grinnell College Libraries website, offers an easy set of links to both web-based and print-based sources of information on different citation styles. http://www.lib.grinnell.edu/research/cite.html
- APA Style.org offers information on using the APA style. It also offers you a way to buy the books that describe the style more fully. You can also find links to the APA style on other sites, such as http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/online/citex.html, which compares APA citaitons with MLA, CBE, and Chicago-style citations of the same source.
