HIT: Style Manuals--High School and College

[Joan Rosen <jrosen@MCIUNIX.MCIU.K12.PA.US>]

On September 29, Carolyn Christiansen asked who was using what style
manuals at the HS and college levels.
We are using the style described in the English grammar book our English
department uses: John E. Warriner, "English Composition and Grammar."
Harcourt, 1988.  We make up a "Footnotes & Bibliography" sheet for the
students, and also a "Parenthetical Citation" sheet for teachers who
prefer those.  These are the accepted forms here.  In the library's
reference section we also have copies of Turabian and MLA.

In my graduate school days, a while back, we were allowed to use anything
as long as we were TOTALLY consistent.  I'm not sure whether or not that
is true today, but I suspect it might be.
