Summary


My favorite was summit, i found it to be very intuitive and detailed, cannell was my least favorite, i found it hard to navigate and to find information for citation. Summit was easy to search and narrow down topics as well as having a citing tool for MLA as well as APA, Chicago, Harvard, and Turabian (whatever that is).  Summit also shows the availability in libraries across the nation as well as clark

  1. Hi, Andy:

    I'm glad you found the citation tool in Summit, that is pretty useful! You were able to apply ASAP criteria for the books as well as be skeptical, that is a good trait to have when doing research.

    Well done,
    Andrea
