Produktbeschreibung
Students, teachers, librarians, and researches who use online sources face new questions when writing footnotes or bibliographic entries for their papers and dissertations. On the Internet, sources change, move, and sometimes disappear, yet users must be able to cite informations accurately in order to maintain credibility. In response to the needs of her students and herself, Janice Walker created the Walker/ACW Style Sheet in 1994, posted it on the web, and received an overwhelming response.The Walker Style Sheet was endorsed by the Alliance for Computers and Writing and was hailed by Newsweek as "a good stop gap." Internet World called it "the most authoritative version" and the "most frequently accessed styleguide on the net," and the Chronicle of Higher Education and USA Today have both cited Walker's work in recent articles.Now Walker and Taylor have expanded the original style sheet into a comprehensive yet user-friendly guide. In addition to providing rules for citation, they also give complete guidelines for formatting documents for online publication and for electronically preparing texts for print publication.

Review:
"With its index and annotated glossary, this guide is an excellent supplement to the standard style manuals." -- Library Journal

At last, an authoritative guide for citing and creating electronic sources. While there are several handbooks and manuals that dictate style for traditional print media, until now, no single volume has adequately addressed the complications and transformations caused by the proliferation of online publishing. The Columbia Guide to Online Style makes the methods of online citation and production accessible to a wide audience, addressing the urgent needs of students, scholars, and professionals.
