Making Citations Easier Making Citations Easier. A Cite to Delight In "After enduring a few book projects and several whitepapers, we know the pain that is footnotes. Apparently, so do the folks over at Encyclopædia Britannica (example). We've noticed recently that they have introduced a helpful feature: Ready-made citations.... While online news sites might not think of themselves as academic resources, people are turning the Web first for information. Why not do things that will help them credit you properly?"[The Shifted Librarian] I've seen this feature on other resources, but it's certainly something to think about again. How could we provide this -- if the resource doesn't do it -- for our students? BTW the citation formats that EB provides are for the bibliography, not for footnotes. 5:12:14 PM     [comment []];[]
