Whenever we refer to a source, we indicate it in the body of the text rather than through footnotes. All the sources are then listed in the bibliography at the end of each unit. Because our goal is to make it easy for you to find a text if you want it, the bibliographies provide as much relevant information as possible, including websites, ISBNs and phone numbers.
Handouts and overheads that come from or are based on other sources have the relevant sources clearly indicated directly on them.
You will find a reference table in each unit that will provide you with more information on that concept or topic. Use it as you feel you would like to. Again, all the texts listed in these tables are fully cited in the bibliographies.
All URLs cited were confirmed on April 19, 2007. However, it is likely that a number of URLs will become outdated as time goes by. We suggest that if you find a web page is no longer available, you try to shorten the URL or go to the home page. For example, you could shorten www.gov.mb.ca/labour/immigrate/learningenglish/pdf/mb_best_practices_guide.pdf to www.gov.mb.ca/labour/immigrate/learningenglish/pdf.
If that still doesn’t lead to a working web page, try shortening it even more: www.gov.mb.ca/labour/immigrate.
