This page is always under construction. Please check back regularly for new additions. The Internet is an extremely valuable research tool. However, anyone (even me) can have a web site. Just because you find it on the web does not make it so! You should always evaluate the objectivity and credibility of your sources, and this is especially true when it comes to material found on the Internet. If you utilize an Internet source in a paper, please refer to the MLA Handbook (on reserve in the library) for the proper citation style.
