From williamson@de45.nidr.nih.gov Mon Mar 20 13:44:20 1995 Here is the compilation of sources; I also sent it to PACS-L. Patrias, Karen. National Library of Medicine recommended formats for
bibliographic citation. Bethesda, Md. : National Library of Medicine,
Reference Section, 1991. 248 p.
Chapter XII, Sections C (serials in electronic formats), E (bulletin
boards), and F (Electronic mail) have been reprinted in: Strangelove,
Michael and Kovacs, Diane. Directory of electronic journals, newsletters,
and academic discussion lists; edited by Ann Okerson. 3d ed. Washington,
D.C. : Association of Research Libraries, 1993. pp. 13-26.
One guide that mentions gophers and how to cite items found on them is:
"The Complete Guide to Citing Government Information Resources: a manual
for writers & librarians". Diane L. Garner. Congressional Information
Service. 1993.
The latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style now has a section on
citing electronic resources.
1. Use the URL where possible, e.g.
URL:ftp://xxx.nodename.nz/pub/dirname/filename
2. Use the information given in Crane and Li, but use it with caution.
Nancy Crane and Xia Li, eds, *Electronic Style* (Meckler, 1993). See my
review in *Internet Research* (Spring, 1994), also at:

Li, Xia and Nancy B. Crane, Electronic Style: A Citation Guide to Citing
Electronic Information, (Westport, Conn.: Meckler, 1993).
-xi, 1-65. ISBN 0-88736-909-x
The APA Publication Manual (fourth edition) has a *very* limited section
on citing some Internet sources (e.g. email and FTP). Anyone interested
in examples of citations to online/electronic material may wish to consult
the new APA guide available electronically. Send a message to
LISTSERV@CMSA.BERKELEY.EDU with the command: INDEX TESLEJ-L. In the index
listing there is a file named TESLEJ-L APAGUIDE. For you info, TESLEJ-L
is the electronic journal of TESOL (Teaching English as a Second
Language).
Additionally, College and Research Library News, Sept. 1994, p. 511 gives
a brief description of how to cite Internet sources.
For those of us who are interested in cataloging the resources of the
Internet, Bruce E. Mills mentioned a draft document, "Guidelines for
bibliographic description of Internet resources," which is available from
OCLC. The print edition can be ordered from OCLC (Product code 8320) for
$22.50. This document is also available in a PostScript version via
anonymous FTP as follows: Host: ftp.rsch.oclc.org
Dir: /pub/internet_resources_project/report
Files: *.ps
the new APA Style manual also has the its way of handling electronic
citings.
