[LM_NET] Target: Choosing a Citation Format

["Wee, David" <dwee@HW.COM>]

Hello,
 
I have students who have difficulty choosing the citation format that
BEST fits the source. Of course, most students get the idea with a few
examples, but a healthy minority of students like to cite EVERYTHING
like a general encyclopedia article--it's the shortest format after all
...
 
Have any of you developed a flow chart or other kind of graphic
organizer that illustrates the metacognative process that you might be
willing to share?
 
How do you teach this to your students?
 
Thank you,
 
Dave Wee, Librarian
