Abstract

Preparing a term paper requires students to acquire thorough knowledge of a topic through study of the literature and to prepare a written summary in the student's own words. Although most reference materials for term papers should be from published literature, the Internet provides abundant sources from which to select a topic and gather information. Due to the irregular distribution of information on the Internet, locating specific information can be very challenging, especially for novice users. Students should be cautious when using Internet sources for a term paper, as the Internet does not have the high content standards typical of professional journals. This paper is intended as a short guide to be presented to students as part of a term-paper assignment. A style guide for the citation of Internet sources is also presented.
