About this title

Review

The Rowman & Littlefield Guide to Writing with Sources is a wonderfully succinct and user-friendly guide for writing students in all disciplines. Its up-to-date chapter on selecting and citing electronic and Internet sources is particularly timely and helpful. I recommend this book enthusiastically to all instructors who assign research papers and projects in their classes. It is a great little book!--Donald E. Hall, California State University, Northridge James Davis's The Rowman & Littlefield Guide to Writing with Sources is the concise handbook for writers who wish to acknowledge their sources. In my introductory political science courses, I have a large number of students who are not political science majors and it would be unfair of me to require them to purchase a political science citation stylebook. With this book, the students learn how to recognize paraphrasing and quoting from sources, including sources found on the Internet. Davis's brief book is a lifesaver for any writer who wishes to avoid the scourge of plagiarism.--Dave Rausch, West Texas A&M University
