Citation of materials from the (extremely) volatile web was a major problem.

Still, as the first work of this type, it gives an excellent baseline for referencing, building, managing on-line content.

It would really help students to sort of have all of the styles in one book so we do not have to get like four or five books just because our professor wanted a paper a certain way. This book also focuses on the online citation (most books fall short of the online stuff because it is so new).
