Hi Martin Great question! I'd cite Wolfram Alpha as a Web page and ask the student to create a pdf of the search result page for the appendix, so that you have a "recoverable" source, since the results will change often and there's no archive of changes the way you would with a wiki.

Brownowski -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of Martin Swist Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 7:26 PM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: MS/HS citation question Hello, One of my middle school students introduced me to WolframAlpha < http://www.wolframalpha.com/> today and asked me how to cite information he found there. Looking into the site, I found a generic list of resources used by http://www.wolframalpha.com/ However, there is a disclaimer stating that the above sources may, or may not, have been used for your particular search, and that a user must write to them (template provided) for the bibliography supporting the particular article. How do you and your students handle using and citing http://www.wolframalpha.com/ TIA, Martin Swist mswist@asij.ac.jp Middle School LMS http://tinyurl.com/yjl7fve The American School In Japan 1-1-1 Nomizu, Chofu-shi, Tokyo "The heart is a little to the left."
