ACADEMIC
RESPONSIBILITY
The Web HAWG is an internet jumpstation for Anthropological and Sociological on-line resources. However, all students are cautioned to remember that electronic media, while interesting and exciting forms of technology, are still evolving. The long and the short of it is that there is a lot of "junk" on the Net, some of it with little or no redeeming scholarly value. Internet users must always assess and discern the information, and consider the source. The internet is no substitute for hands-on library research and traditional methods of information gathering and assessment. I expect all my students to make the college library their first and last stop in information gathering.
The basic fundamental principles of academic research remain a duty of the student researcher, among them, cite your sources. Internet citations are important for the same reasons as citations of traditional sources: You must know the foundation of knowledge on which your analysis and treatise is built, and readers have the right (and duty) to check your sources.
The citation form of electronic media sources is not universally accepted, but for the Internet, the basic acceptable form is:
Author, Title, (On-line), (Date, Date Retrieved), Available: protocol://host(port)/directory/subdirectory/file.name.
I suggest that students consult the Citing Data Files and Internet Sourcesfor some excellent guidelines on the citation of electronic and internet sources.
