I can't remember if we discussed this site in the past, but I just came across this site...http://www.bibme.org/It enables the creation of bibliographies in a variety of formats that you can save and later download. What I like is that you just have to input the ISBN number, author or title and it will pull up the correct citation or give you a list that you can choose from. I tried putting in a few journal articles titles that I've worked with recently, and unfortunately it wasn't able to find those in its database. So it's not perfect, but could still come in handy.
The good thing about the bibme site is that you can simply copy and paste a web site URL into it and it formats it correctly and allows manual modification of the citation. Also, input of the ISBN number creates the correct citation as well. Now it only gives bibliography format, not footnote formatting, so each person has to modify that by hand.I have seen the citation system in OpenOffice (this is my wordprocessor) but I haven't gotten into using it...still, I don't think it will create a citation based on ISBN, will it?
But of course it does not do this one. :-[http://www.stoa.org/sol/
It does take a little tweaking, which is why they have the ability to manually enter the citation. You know what would be nice? A Firefox extension which allowed a person to automatically generate a citation from a web page simply by clicking a button.
Has this been added? Could be worth something:http://wikisummaries.org
Here's another site from which one can create bibliographies using just an ISBN number or title (for books only).http://www.ottobib.com/
I ran across this e-book site today while researching Natural Law: Forgotten Books All of their titles are available for free on Google Books and if you dont want to read them online you can order their books through Amazon for pretty low prices.Here is another good site with lots of legal theory references: LONANG LibraryPhid, have you thought about pinning this topic? It has loads of links on it now, I come and look at it when I am cramped for sources.
Sure, I pinned it. Possibly some day over break when I have time I'll organize the links contained in this thread in a systematic way.
I ran across a pretty good academic paper site today at eserver. It is a multidisciplinary site run from Iowa State University with papers from pretty much all over the academic spectrum. it has a pretty decent history and philosophy section. I havent really looked beyond these two places but the front page says they have over 35,000 papers on the site. Worth looking at, if nothing else.
For future reference: a peer-reviewed site covering some figures in the history of philosophy.Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
I have a post pinned to my blog that has online sources on it. I continually update it as I come across new ones either during research or just when goofing off on the internet. Their are a couple of sites on there that have not made into this list and vice-versa. The post is here: A Note on Sources
