Subject:  How to Cite On-Line Research
 
 
There is an increasing need for a standard way of citing on-line
research. On-line sites may change addresses, move to new locations,
be revised, and/or disappear. The January 12, 1996, issue of *The
Chronicle of Higher Education* has a helpful discussion which should
be on the *Chronicle* web site <http://chronicle.merit.edu> by January
16, 1996.
 
Three good citation guides that are increasingly being followed are:
 
    <gopher://h-net.msu.edu:70/00/lists/H-ARFICA/internet-cit>
    "A Brief Citation Guide for Internet Sources in History and the
    Humanities," by Melvin E. Page.
 
    <http://www.uvm.edu/~xli/reference/estyles.html>
    "Bibliographic Formats for Citing Electronic Information." by Xia
    Li and Nancy B. Crane.

    MLA-Style Citations of Electronic Sources, by Janice R. Walker.
