LSCI 106: ONLINE RESEARCH 1: INTRODUCTION TO ONLINE RESEARCH
Assignment #7
FINAL PROJECT BIBLIOGRAPHY
Due: November
29
For your final project, you will create a bibliography based on your research question and research you have done in previous assignments. The bibliography will be saved as a web page and you will create links to all online sources that you cite.
The bibliography must include the following:
Minimum requirements for different types of sources that must be included within the total of 7:
DIRECTIONS FOR CREATING YOUR WEB PAGE
Organize the citations for all of the required sources into a single list in
alphabetical order using MLA format following the directions below (using
the Model Bibliography as a template). This is
the same as writing a paper with Microsoft
Word except you will save your file as a web page and you will create hyperlinks
to web pages and to articles from databases, as explained below.
To develop your final project into a web page, you should:
a. Type in the URL (web address) for the webpage or article. Be sure to always start a URL with: http:// and end with a space.
If you follow step a. correctly, Microsoft Word should automatically make the address a hyperlink and this will be indicated by the URL becoming blue underlined letters. If this does not work for some reason, or if you want to make any other words that do not start with http:// into a hyperlink, follow steps b - d below.
b. Highlight the URL or other words that you want to make into a hyperlink.
c. Use the Insert pull-down menu and click on Hyperlink (Ctrl-K is a short cut)
d. In the box that says
"Address," enter the URL (web address) for the webpage or article you
want to link to. Be sure to always start a URL with: http://
NOTE: For database articles that have
very long URLs (e.g. an InfoTrac article address such
as: <http://web6.infotrac.galegroup.com/itw/infomark/802/768/34930836w6/purl=3!ar_fmt?sw_aep=plan_skyline>
),
you may shorten the URL for your bibliography (e.g., <http://infotrac.galegroup.com> ), but
you must include the complete URL in the hyperlink address box.
