Nothing I have seen approaches The Columbia Guide to Online Style in meeting the needs of those who want to cite as well as produce documents for electronic publication. This book fills the many gaps that APA, MLA, and Chicago fail to cover. -- Susanna Pathak, Virginia Commonwealth University Researchers are increasingly turning to online sources, yet when it comes to citing those sources, style guides fail to cover all the possibilities. The one exception is the Columbia Guide to Online Style. Online media are constantly changing, always producing new methods of communication, and this guide keeps up with them--for example, citation guidance for courseware, blogs, and wikis, and one of the best summations that I have seen of the relationship between plagiarism, copyright, and intellectual property. I wish everyone could read this book. -- Rebecca Moore Howard, associate professor of writing and rhetoric, The Writing Program, Syracuse University The arrival of this second edition of The Columbia Guide to Online Style will be very welcome news to anyone who writes and publishes articles, books, hypertexts, and even multimedia projects. Janice Walker and Todd Taylor are supremely qualified to lead us through the tangled wilderness of online style, providing common sense and well-reasoned principles for producing professional quality texts. Their focus is not simply writing for the Web or citing electronic sources, but--and this may be their smartest move--on the many forms there may be in the life of a text--from print to screen. The book complements discipline-specific citation guides without confusing or complicating standards, interpreting them for students and professional writers and editors. There are only a few books I keep close by when I'm writing, copyediting, or designing a book. The Columbia Guide to Online Style will be one of them. I hope all authors use this edition as religiously as I will. -- David Blakesley, professor of English and director of professional writing, Purdue University
