Essays / Term paper about the American National Red Cross [2]
Hello,
I'm working on a term paper about the American National Red Cross' new proposed governance structure and have a few generic questions for you:
1) The first few pages of my paper cover the American Red Cross' history and details about its congressional charter. My professor would prefer that I use articles as much as possible in the paper rather than the Red Cross website but I can't seem to locate any articles that give details about the Red Cross' history and Congressional Charter. Do you have any other suggestions? To me, it makes sense that I'd be using the redcross.org website for such information since what I need is facts about the organization...
2) If I find that I MUST use the redcross.org website, how do I cite its use within my paper when my professor specifically requests we use (author, date) format? Since there is no specific author and date, what do I do?
3) Lastly, since most of the information at the beginning of my paper is fact-based, when do I have to use quotations when referring to the material found on the redcross.org website versus simply citing redcross.org at the end of my first sentence? I assume that since I'm getting all info. from one source that I should not continue to cite the source throughout the paper until I switch sources and go back to the redcross.org source again, right?
Thanks!
