Your task here is to locate any and all reliable materials by and about your poet on the Web, and to provide some guidance as to the nature and quality of those materials. In some instances, the Gale Literary Databases may have done some of this work for you, while others will require more legwork. But even if you're one of the lucky ones, you mustn't stop with Gale. First, use a good
World Wide Web search engine like Google to
locate anything related to your poet. Since different engines search
the Web differently, you may want to repeat the search with HotBot, MetaCrawler,
and/or whatever other hot new search engine the tech-heads are into
these days. Compile and collate all the citations you've assembled, and put some thought into how to arrange them logically and effectively. Format your entries according to MLA Style (as outlined in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 6th ed.). Capital Community College in Hartford, CT has an excellent web-based introduction to MLA Style.
