While there is a wealth of information freely available on the internet, not all sites are created equal. Careful evaluation is a critical part of doing research on the Internet. Below are a few recommended sites:

• Adult Learning Documentation and Information Network
  (http://www.unesco.org/education/aladin/)
• The Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education
  (http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/CASAE/index.html)
• Canadian National Adult Literacy Database
  (http://www.nald.ca/)

Accurate, properly formatted footnotes, reading lists, and bibliographies are hallmarks of good academic research. Through citing, you acknowledge the source of any ideas you mention in your writing, document your research, and provide the information your readers need to track down your sources.

Numerous citation styles exist, and each specifies what elements are required (title, author, journal name, etc.) and how the citation should be formatted. The standard citation style for Education is APA, but your instructor may require or recommend that you use another. Consult your course syllabus or check with your instructor to be sure of using the correct citation style for your assignment.
