Product Description
Developed for Harvard University's Expository Writing Program, Writing with Sources describes the main principles and methods of integrating and citing sources in scholarly work, and provides cogent guidance on avoiding the misuse of sources.
The second edition of Writing with Sources is updated throughout, and includes new material on the roles sources play in argument, on assessing the reliability of sources, and on attitudes about writing that can lead to plagiarism.

 Better to teach citation than to punish plagiarism November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Too many college writing guides tell students what *not* to do without giving them sufficient instruction on how to craft original papers. I assign this book to all my undergraduates, and I think it has helped considerably in cutting down instances of plagiarism and other misuse of sources.
 Outdated Style Sheet...Doesn't Address Web Sources April 26, 2006
With a 1998 copyright, one might expect this manual to be a bit outdated. It's unfortunate, because otherwise, it's an excellent reference at a very inexpensive price. The section on electronic sources doesn't adequately deal with the proliferation of electronic databases, websites, and other new media. You'd be better off using one of the many free online MLA formatting pages available on university websites.
Great For Historiography! December 18, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is a great supplement for history students. It is short and to the point, it reads well and it has valuable information about integrating sources into term papers, theses and dissertations. It provides how-to information on writing historically that other writer's manuals do not.
