Words for "according to"

¡Hola amigos!
I need some words that translate to "according to", as if you're referring to a source. So far, the only word I know is "según...." I've been told to use "conforme a," but I read that that's more like saying "in accordance with."
Gracias!

Is there a difference between "de acuerdo a" and "de acuerdo con?" And what about "conforme a/con?" - LaMantequilla, Apr 3, 2012
The preposition varies "according to (pardon the pun)" the usage. Estoy de acuerdo con Mario. De acuerdo a las reglas. It's more usage than correctness. Prepositions tend to behave that way in most languages. - francobollo, Apr 3, 2012
