How to Cite Electronic Documentation Based on APA Style

At its headwaters in Itasca State Park, the wide and rolling Mississippi River is only a sparkling stream through which you can idly wade with your hands in your pockets. Scholarship is much the same. From small beginnings in often obscure sources and reading, you broaden your knowledge and argument until it becomes, you hope, a Mississippi of intellectual achievement. Pay honest tribute to the narrow tributaries of your study. Cite your electronic sources correctly in APA style.
