just submitted my bibliography! checked several websites and a class handout in regards to proper APA citing...so i hope its all correct!
learned some interesting things about internet censorship in Saudi Arabia! - can't believe the public and universities had no access until 1999! i can't imagine that!

almost complete! woohoo!
i think i have everything pretty much squared away! just going to do one more run through of my biblio to make sure my citing is correct - my academic writing teacher gave me some photocopies of some pages out of a great writers manual that has really clear, detailed examples of APA formatting.
My book resource researching did end up being a little more difficult than i anticipated - i still think amazon is a great resource for this though. In both of my books i was able to view table of contents and most of the pages - the internet censoring pages were all available but not all of the info pertaining to women and women's rights. interesting! sort of wonder if this occured just by chance or a little censorship is going on from publishers/amazon folk - whoever controls what exactly you can see from "look inside the book"!

research is going fine but i can say a few things about using the sakai assignment posting field:
1. you can not copy and paste! this is sooo annoying because, as you know, many of my sources are online references that require we addresses somewhere in the citation. if you could just copy and paste these addresses it would be a time saver!
2. be careful about your saves! i wrote two and a half article citations/summaries without saving and then - blip - i got shot out of the posting field. when i returned my last entries were not saved. now i am saving excessively and things are moving along fine!
