Hello all, Lexis-nexis is a good way to get original page numbers, although not pagination (i.e., whether a particular line was on the first page an article or the jump page) online. It's still more proper, I think, than URLs, and while there *are* mistakes in databases like proquest, l-n, dowjones, etc., they at least reference the latest, corrected version of a story. Newspaper web sites don't necessarily have the same version of stories as in the print version. And it's also a lot kinder to your readers who follow your references, as URL archives change at various newspaper sites (but not the NYT). I suspect that proper page citations in academic articles will continue to decline as more people use differently paginated database sources. -----Original Message----- Some folks -- including me -- do URL cites to print sources: Economist, NY Times, etc. But these typically don't contain the original print page numbers. Is the URL OK, or do we need to schlep to the library (which may not be nearby)* and look up print pages?
