Answers.com Introduces Citations Tool at NECC New Feature
Discourages Student Plagiarism with Easy-to-Use Bibliography Entry
Creator PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- GuruNet Corporation (AMEX:GRU), creators of the Answers.com
(http://www.answers.com/) answer-based search engine, announced the
launch of a citations tool as part of its popular website, at this
year's National Educational Computing Conference. This new feature
enables researchers to effortlessly cite the information that they
find at Answers.com, by automatically producing bibliography
entries for the site's collection of over a million topics. "As
Internet plagiarism becomes a more serious issue, both in the
workplace and in our schools, we have incorporated this
functionality with the goal of educating and helping our users cite
their work. And as with the rest of our product, we allow them to
do it with just one click," explained Bob Rosenschein, founder and
CEO of GuruNet. "We hope that this tool will be especially useful
for students of all ages, many of whom may believe that citing
someone's work on the Internet requires less diligent citation
discipline than does print." This new feature consists of a "Cite"
button next to each copyright at the bottom of each Answers.com
page. Users can choose the sources that they have used in their
work, click on the button, and be directed to a page with the
fully-formatted citation, ready for copying. Users can even choose
from the MLA, Chicago and "simple" styles. In addition, visitors to
Answers.com's booth (#0146) at the NECC at the Pennsylvania
Convention Center, June 28-30, will receive a free classroom poster
highlighting the guidelines for Web source citation. A personal
copy of the poster is also available for download at
