XVIII. FINDING TRUSTWORTHY SOURCES In IE III, you will be using sources that support your ideas. You must give credit to the people who produced them. Sources of information can include books, the Internet, television, the radio, and even podcasts. As long as you document these sources, they are considered a reference. However, you must be careful when using the Internet to find references. Not everything you will find there is equally reliable and accurate. To get the best from the Internet, take the excellent tutorial at the Internet Detective… http://www.vts.intute.ac.uk/detective/index.html Most people use Google these days when searching for information—and it is great—but there are many other search engines. Try out some of them at… http://www.cl.aoyama.ac.jp/~dias/EsllinksSearch.html One search engines you’ll find on that page, http://vivisimo.com/, can be useful when you’re searching for a topic to write about. After you’ve found one, it will help outline your ideas. The special feature of this search engine is that it “clusters” search results so that you can see themes. For example, a search using the term “death penalty,” Vivisimo outputs the following clusters: Death penalty information (15), Pro Death Penalty (4), Human Rights (9), Inmates (17), Oppose (4), Amnesty International (12), History (7), Debate (7), Christianity (2), etc. [numbers in brackets refer to the number of web sites most often visited on the sub-themes]. XVIII.(a) REFERENCES AND THE MLA STYLE Once you have found a trustworthy website, you need to summarize the information or copy it into a file so that you can summarize it later IN YOUR OWN WORDS and/or select useful quotes from it. To use the information in your essays, you MUST indicate where you found it. Not doing so, is called plagiarism, which is considered stealing the writing and ideas. To show you how seriously plagiarism is treated abroad, here is a list of possible punishments for plagiarizing at the University of Nottingham in the U.K.
There is a special style for noting these references. The one generally used when writing about literature is the MLA (Modern Language Association) style. When writing about linguistics or the social sciences, including communications and English education, the APA (American Psychological Association) style is frequently used. The comparison-contrast essays included in Section XIX of this guide were followed by references formatted in the MLA Style. In the IE Program and in Academic Writing you will be asked to format references using the MLA Style, as opposed the APA style. To learn both at the same time would be confusing and overwhelming. You can produce perfectly formatted references in either MLA or APA style—as long as you fill out the fields correctly—by using The Landmark Project’s Citation Machine at: http://www.citationmachine.net/ Follow these steps when creating a Bibliography or Works Cited section at the end of your essay:
