The Columbia Guide to Online Style
The world of online writing evolves so quickly and is of such vital importance that it requires a specialized guide, one that focuses primarily on this complex dimension of academic writing instead of trying to do everything at once, as other style guides attempt to do. The Columbia Guide to Online Style is such a tool, a comprehensive guide to citing and producing academic documents and resources that are stored electronically.

"A comprehensive manual that not only covers citation of online documents but provides guidelines for producing them. . . . An excellent supplement to the standard style manuals."
