good basis book for learners of research papers

I've used this text for years to give examples to high school and foreign university students. It has a little bit of everything. Explains organization, footnotes, how to do research, bibliography, some sentence combining, and how to use a library. I enjoy it. My earlier edition doesn't have the MLA or APA, but it does show footnotes, which is probably okay for early learners of research papers. I also like Perspectives on Argument, but the cost of that book is prohibitive for most students. How to Write a Thesis is a good cheap alternative and doesn't have a lot of unnecessary text or assignments: just clear explanations and examples.
