12. Links to sites about referencing

To be honest, the links below are unlikely to help you to format Internet references. Each University has its own house style, and If anything, you may feel even more confused by the time you've seen how differently each one does it. However, by the time you've looked at a dozen or so sites, and compared the different styles which Universities and organizations use, you'll begin to see trends, principles and similarities which may help you to organize your own references.

Citation Guides Links
Probably the only link you really need, since this is a page of links to other guides on citation.

Citation Guides for Electronic Documents from IFLANET
Another list of links, this time from IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions -doesn't that spell IFLAI?). You will begin to see the same old links turning up over and again in these links pages.

Excerpts from International Standard ISO 690-2 Information and documentation - Bibliographic references - Part 2: Electronic documents or parts thereof
This is the document on which the RAD house style is based. ISO 690-2 is relatively straightforward compared to other guidelines, and deals with principles, rather than style.

Owen Massey - Libraries
Not specifically anything to do with citation, but Owen Massey has a way of making libraries, cataloguing and bibliography sound interesting. Cutting edge stuff, entertaining and useful, with some good links.

The complete guide to Weblogs
How can you know what to look for, when you don't know what's there? Reading weblogs is rather like having your own personal guided tour of the Internet from Someone Who Knows.

ISBD(ER): International Standard Bibliographic Description for Electronic Resources
One of the things I don't understand is how there can be so many so-called "International Standards". However, here's yet another one.

Cataloging Internet Resources: A Manual and Practical Guide OCLC)
OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) is a force to be reckoned with. They are concerned with cataloguing, rather than referencing, but since the purpose of a reference is to enable you to find something in a catalogue, there is, of course, going to be an overlap of interests.
