Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace, Fourth Edition Revised (English and English Edition)

EE4 Description Evidence Explained guides users through a maze of historical resources not covered by other citation manuals—all kinds of primary-source materials accessed through all kinds of media. More than a thousand examples for U.S. and international documents demonstrate how to handle the quirks that stump users of these materials. Students, scholars, and curious sleuths all face the same questions: What details must we capture for each type of source in order to understand it and properly interpret its evidence? How do we evaluate a record’s credibility—especially when its information conflicts with other sources? How do we identify each source—not just so it can be found again but so we and others can judge its reliability? How can we guard against link rot and disappearing sources when doing online research? Evidence Explained , a Library Journal Best Reference , has answered these questions since 2007. New to the 4th Edition: New tutorial: “Building Your Citation” (Chapter 3) 14 universal templates for citing every kind of source 1000+ citation examples each keyed to a specific template Expanded emphasis on digitized primary sources Expanded international coverage Updated discussions and examples for every type of source and all digital delivery mechanisms — ASIN: 0806321318 | ISBN13: 9780806321318 | ISBN-13: 978-0806321318
