Attention Students and Visitors...
My primary objective for running this FORMATTING site was to help my students understand specifics about different documentation styles as it pertained to the formatting of our assignments. My students are Liberty University students. Liberty has a new system of teaching/educating Liberty students about the formatting of essay writing through the documentation styles. Therefore, I will no longer be updating content on this formatting website.
I know that many students from other institutions are directed to this site for help, and the links to the right of this message may still be useful for students from other institutions--since they are true formatting guides and helper forms--however, these links will no longer be updated by me to assist my primary students (Liberty students) since I will be referring my students to Liberty's new Writing Style Guides through the Liberty writing center.
While you can still review the links and content on these pages, Liberty has created their own online documentation/formatting guidance site to assist students. See the Liberty online writing center's handouts and citation programs for effective formatting requirements in our class.
Take note of the new writing style guides information below.

Writing Style Guides
Liberty University and our Online Writing Center recently produced new digital Writing Style Guides for all major style manuals used in our courses. In part this is in response to changes affecting the major manuals (APA, Turabian, MLA, etc.) and how students purchase them for courses. It also reflects a need for various support offices to have uniform direction on how to best help our students. Chairs of our departments (residential and online) worked closely with the Writing Center staff to produce quick guides to each major style form. All students should go directly to the Writing Style Guides linked from the left menu in each Blackboard course.
