Douglas Cornwell asked about citing internet pages. Here's the word from
Janice Walker about citing both hard copy original in addition to the
electronic copy. Janice says note that her material is under copyright.
We're free to use it for educational purposes (such as xeroxing it and
handing it out to classes) if we keep her email address intact and note
that she holds the copyright. She apologizes for some loss of hanging
indents and such like in this copy.

Subject: Re: Citing Internet pages vs hard copy (fwd)
For work accessed electronically, IF it has been previously published
(either online or in print) AND if YOU HAVE THE PREVIOUS PUBLICATION
INFROMATION, then you should cite the previous pub. information. This
must be followed, however, by the electronic publication information
(including the name of the database or electronic address, and any
search terms or directory path necessary, if known--the steps someone
followed to get to the source)--the electronic version constitutes an
EDITION of the work--THE edition being cited--and is, therefore,
imperative.
The following is not formatted for ASCII--it is taken (completely out of
context) from my upcoming Columbia book:
8.3 Computer Information Services and Online Data Bases
List the author's name, title of work, in quotation marks or
italics as appropriate, any print publication information, if applicable,
and the title of the information service or data base, in italics, the
publisher or retrieval service, and the date of access in parentheses.
Abdul-Ghani, Mohamed. "Comparison of the Effect of
Instructional versus Industry-Specific Computer Simulation on Students
Learning in a Front Office Management Course." DAI 56 (1996): 4363A. U of
Tennessee, 1995. Dissertation Abstracts Online. OCLC (22 May 1996).
WAY MORE STUFF: (Please note--italics and hanging indents are missing in
ASCII)
1.13 Files and Documents with Previous Publication Information
List the author's name, the title of the article enclosed in
quotation marks, and the original publication information, followed by the
protocol and addressed used to access it online and the date of access.

Haitian Trickster Spirit, Two Wizards, and a Cast of Dozens
Turned a Database Into a Society." _Village Voice_ 21 Dec.

3.3 Citing Works with Previous Publication Information
For works with previous publication information, include as much
information on the original publication as possible, followed by the
electronic publication information.

List the author's name, the title of the work, enclosed in
quotation marks, the title of the book or anthology in italics, followed

the electronic version if different from the print version, any
identifying file or version numbers or file name, the name of the
electronic publication site, if applicable, in italics, the date of
electronic publication, the protocol and address, any paths or directories
necessary to access the work, and the date accessed enclosed in
parentheses.

complete work, if applicable, and the publication information. List any

4.2 Previously Published Works
Many electronic texts have been published in print form. If print
publication information is known, it should be cited. It is still
important, however, to cite the online version if this is the edition you
have used.

To cite a paper previously published in a scholarly journal or a
magazine, give the author's name and the title of the article, the title
of the journal or magazine, the date, a colon and the page numbers, if

8.0 ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS AND ONLINE DATABASES
Some books and reference sources are published on CD-ROM or
diskettes, or may be available only from certain computer terminals.
Computerized library catalogs may include sources from online information
services that are only available by subscription, or your library may have
subscriptions to CD-ROM information services. Include as much information
on the service as possible in your citations.
8.1 General Format
List the author's name, last name first, if known, the title of
the article in quotation marks and the title of the publication in
italics. Next list any version or edition numbers or other identifying
information, series name if applicable, the name of the online service or
publication information, and the date.
Author's Last Name, Author's First Name. "Title of
Article." Title of Software Publication. Print publication information
including version or edition number, if applicable, and date of
publication. Name of data base in italics, if applicable. Name of online
