Introduction
As more information becomes available in electronic formats, the style manuals have begun to show basic examples of how to cite these sources. Below are examples of the three major "styles" for citing electronic resources. The different FORMATS can include: CD-ROM, ON-LINE, WEB page, MAILING List, TELNET site, etc. When accessing Internet resources, be sure to WRITE DOWN the URL (uniform resourse locator; usually will start with http://www....). When printing, the URL may not print out and at a later date you may not be able to find the location to cite the information. All Internet examples provide the information to Web sites which give more detailed examples of citing electronic resources.
