Can I use your article for my homework?
You have blanket permission to use any feature at the Medieval History site for your homework or research paper, as long as you treat it like any published material. This means you should quote it and cite your source.
To cite my entire website, it's sufficient to give the URL of the site in the text. For example, "According to Medieval History at About (http://historymedren.about.com)..." To cite an article or page on my site, use the following format:Snell, Melissa. "The Keepers of Knowledge." Medieval History at About. Retrieved March 7, 2001 from the World Wide Web: http://historymedren.about.com/library/weekly/aa010798.htmYou may print out on your printer any article and attach it to your homework, if necessary. Many features have "printer-friendly versions" you can reach from the end of the last page. If your printer is not set up to include the URL in the footer or header of your document, and if the portion you are printing does not display the address, please write it somewhere on the page. And best of luck with your homework!
