Knowing where to find good information can be invaluable to a new instructor. Two websites I have gone back to over and over again in the past six years of teaching. These include:
Purdue Owl (Online Writing Lab) This website has a little bit of everything on writing as well as the most comprehensive and up-to-date source for citations I've found.
The Little Brown, Compact Handbook A companion to the handbook, it's loaded with exercises I've found useful.
In addition, I've found that most textbooks now have companion websites. I've found that no matter how many new editions of a text come out, or how fast they book moves from manuscript to publication, it never seems to be fast enough. The articles in the texts as often outdated by the time they reach our students. The companion websites are nice because publishers will often post additional articles online, and these may be more up-to-date than those printed in the text.
