Friends, With disc and tape memory almost free, there is no excuse for not filing a reference copy -- just as we file hardcopy of journal articles. Authors that use online information should retain a copy of that information, preferably the entire page. If that was done, then the author could provide the information on request, or if known the URL that currently has the document. To really do the job right the author could maintain a web page with information redirecting the reader or providing a single click request for a filed copy of "disappeared" web pages (mailto:me@my.address?subject=http://disappearedURL). Regarding bibliographic style, it has always irritated me to include "Available Online." In the reader doesn't recognize a URL, then s/he can just go fish. Ed Lamoureux wrote:
