Hi I'm new here...

anyway. I need to know who wrote the biography on Henry James on the site. This is for a paper where I'm required to do a works cited list...

wow!!......your professors must be very liberal minded. There is no way on earth any professor I know would let us use the internet as a reliable source of information, or if they did, the site would have to stem from impecable credentials. But still, even matching this criteria would do little to stem the frowns sure to manifest themselves on a professor's forehead by the use of the internet as a source....

He doesn't mind, as long as it's a credible source. And those do exist on the net too. All that needs to be followed is MLA style citation.

I cite sources from the internet too sometimes, it just all depends on where it's coming from :D

"Google, the operator of the world's most popular Internet search service, plans to announce an agreement today with some of the nation's leading research libraries and Oxford University to begin converting their holdings into digital files that would be freely searchable over the Web." (From New York TImes, Dec. 14)

There are already massive amounts of digitized information on the `net; books, indexes and databases to govt. records etc. etc. to be used as primary and secondary sources.
