Secondary Sources from the Internet including, but not limited to Wikipedia and other online encyclopedias. [There is a lot of useful material online, but there is also plenty of information of questionable value to the historian. As a general rule, DO NOT cite secondary sources from the internet on your paper. Please note that academic articles, book reviews, and the like which are kept online in databases like JStor or H-Net can be used in your papers. One way to determine if the information is valuable is to read through some of the sites put together by Prof. Tygiel in his webpage. If you are still in doubt about a site, check with me.]
