Hi,
I tell my graduate students that if they want to use material from the Internet -- either citations or as source data -- to either PDF the page ("Print to PDF" usually works well in this situation) or use "Scrapbook" or a similar browser-based program to capture the page.
(If the latter, I caution them to be careful as to how many levels they capture, and I suggest that they do not change the date/time on the timestamped folder.)
Then, if they reference that material in their M.A. or Ph.D. theses, I spotcheck the source. If the source still exists, then no problem; if it doesn't exist, then I ask to see the PDF or the timestamped folder. If they cannot produce either to show me, then I strongly recommend that they find another source for what they want to cite.
Good luck.
Leslie

I either create a PDF or JPEG screen capture of any web pages I use and save them along with all of my other references. I hope this helps.

Hi,
Would anyone know what are the criteria concerning internet material's validity? Is it common that you as a researcher will be asked to prove that the material you have collected from the internet is real. Since a lot of internet data disappears everyday, mere url addresses are not enough. Even html files can be modified after saving webpages.
I would appreciate if someone had time to answer.
Maria
