Citing and the Internet
With such a wide variety of information available on the Internet, students are often left guessing their way through the documentation process. Here, then, is help for citing some sources that students frequently use.

LEXUS-NEXUS AND PROQUEST
If you use Lexus-Nexus or ProQuest, remember that all the information on that database exists (or existed) as a printed text. So, just cite it appropriately as a newspaper article, a magazine article, or whatever it happens to be. You don't need to indicate that it came from the Lexus-Nexus or ProQuest database.
