direct quotes
When talking with students
about research, we shouldn’t
place emphasis on what a
source is “but on what they as
writers might do with them”
(Bizup, 2008, p. 75).
block quotes
Oakleaf (2011) asserts:
While librarian are experts in
information retrieval, new
technology, and electronic
information resources, faculty
can provide a disciplinary
context for the information
literacy instruction. (p. 832)
paraphrase
Sipher (2005) concludes his
essay by insisting that, because
schools try to fill multiple social
functions, they have failed to
fulfill their primary duty of
educating their students.
