 The FREE CITATION BUILDER from SourceAid allows you to choose your citation style (MLA, Chicago, or APA) and choose from a wide variety of types of sources (see below), both in print or online. There are other citation tools out there, but this is the best I've seen — a nice, uncluttered design with a GREAT list of citable types of sources.

You'll always be able to get back to its link on the library's 'Citing Sources' page — http://www.nmhschool.org/nmhlibrary/citingsources.php

"A rule of thumb is a homemade recipe for making a guess. It is an easy-to-remember guide that falls somewhere between a mathematical formula and a shot in the dark. Rules of thumb are a kind of tool. They help you appraise a problem or situation. They make it easier to consider the subtleties of the topic at hand; they give you a feel for a subject. A rule of thumb is not a joke or a ditty. It is not a Murphy’s Law. Murphy says that things will take longer than we think; a rule of thumb says how much longer. While a proverb says that a stitch in time saves nine, a rule of thumb says to allow one inch of yarn for every stitch on a knitting needle."   Rules of Thumb: rulesofthumb.org

With
all due respect to Kevin Smith, the web is no longer only for
complaining about movies. In fact, there are a large number of very
helpful sites that teach you how to do things. These are do-it-yourself
sites, but we’re not talking about building a deck or baking a cake –
the web is full of more general interest sites that give quality
instruction on all sorts of fun and useful projects. Including,
sometimes, how to build a deck or bake a cake.

Directory assistance has always wanted to be free. Since it launched
six months ago, Google’s foray into phone-based information has become
the easiest, quickest, most efficient free 411 I’ve used. I’m amazed
more people don’t have it programmed into their phones. Best part:
there are no pre-roll ads. Another well-known option is 1-800-FREE411,
but it can take 20 seconds before the "What city and state?" finally
arrives. With GOOG-411, the same prompt is delivered in 4 seconds. Time
is precious, but even more so if you’re on a conservative plan with
limited minutes. For that same reason (read: frugality), I’m less
inclined to use SMS-based 411 or Google SMS.
GOOG-411 also connects your call to the business for free, so there’s
no need to jot down or memorize any digits. Dialing "411" and paying $2
is like flipping through one of Ma Bell’s analog phone books when
you’ve got a connected laptop right in front of you — an
easily-remedied symptom of a bygone era.
