Students, if you are confused about how to write out those article citations in the body or reference list of your research papers, you may find the Son of Citation Machine at the http://citationmachine.net/ web site very helpful. It is very simple! Just copy and paste the resulting formatted citation onto your document, because they will not be stored for you on the Citation Machine web site. This will save you time and it will help you to learn what information is necessary for a proper citation in text or in the reference section of your paper. And it is fun to use because you will be successful.

Ready Reference Handbook

Who is in band or chorus? Have you ever tried to find songs written or sung about "school"? You may enjoy looking at this book if you have difficulty thinking of the title of a song that you want to add to your iPod. Want to know who the artist is of the oldie but goody song your brother likes? The Green Book lists over 35,000 songs! The main body of the book categorizes songs alphabetically by subject. Guide words are at the top of the pages like a dictionary or phone book for easier browsing. Use the main category at the beginning of each subject and the songs are listed under subheadings in alphabetical order. Go ahead and use this book to help plan the music for your next school dance or home party. If you want a particular theme to follow, this book will help you to accomplish your goal!
