Writing papers was the worst.

Ah, I've spent a lot of quality time with this little book. It is our assigned text for our info lit classes. I have to say that it is pretty darned handy, with basic information about citation styles and sound wisdom about conducting library research for just $10.

Oh, yeah, and Barbara Fister has been the person revising it in recent editions :)

Not as complete as "Little Brown" but more portable. MLA cowers in fear of you when you're armed with this.

This is a helpful pocket manual for English classes.
