The colorful examples and illustrations offer easy-to-follow models to help resolve the difficulties encountered in everyday communications from e-mail messages to formal reports. New features include: up-to-date coverage on dealing with online source material and precautions to observe when citing electronic material; new searchable index: the website accompanying the book allows the reader immediate access to definitions and information on specific topics; updated e-mail rules and expanded plagiarism coverage to meet the needs of changing technology. |
