Title

Cyber citations : documenting Internet sources presents some thorny problems

Abstract

Highlights 2 problems with thinking of the Internet as a virtual library. Documents on the Internet, unlike books in a library, are difficult to catalogue, Internet holdings can change by the minute, and 'books' can disappear off the shelf without warning leaving scholars unable to verify cited sources. Sets out strategies to adopt, including: printing out sources or saving to hard disc; opt for signed articles; gauge the reliability of the material; contact the web master if problems arise. A major problem concerns bibliographic description and the actual, physical form of cited Internet references. Recommends 2 major guides for college writing: The Modern Language Association (MLA) Handbook for Writers of Research Papers; and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA). Includes actual samples of citations from electronic mail; web site; FTP; Gopher; Usenet news; or mailing list, taken from the MLA web site (http://www.falcon.eku.edu/honors/beyond-mla)
