TIP: GIVING CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE
If you've ever used the information you found on the Internet in a report,
thesis, article, or any other project that required you to list your sources,
you've probably pondered the best way to cite that
information. Well, that's the same question a lot of other folks have
asked--and while no definitive source yet exists for how Internet citations
should be handled, you can find a method that suits your
needs. Stop by the Internet Public Library and check out its Citing
Electronic Resources page to get links to a number of helpful guides to
citing electronic information.
Your students won't want to be without it: a central location with links to libraries online, reference sites, specialty libraries, statistics, maps, phone books, and so on.

Its primary intent was to give reporters and editors new to the Web a solid starting point for a wide range of journalistic functions without forcing all of them to spend time wandering around blindly to find a useful set of links of their own. Its secondary purpose was to show people that there's a lot of fun and useful stuff going on out there.
The list is by its nature highly selective and constantly changing. Suggestions are always welcome.
