ELECTRONIC SOURCES
Electronic sources include CD-ROMs, e-mail, software programs, Web sites, on-line databases, and information available using telnet, gopher, file transfer protocol (FTP), and other access modes. This section deals specifically with e-mail, CD-ROMs, and Web sources.
CAUTION: Be aware that sources on the World Wide Web lack the stability of their print counterparts; an on-line document may be revised or it may even disappear altogether. In addition, there is no guarantee that the information contained in a Web document is of good quality and error-free. For these reasons, you should evaluate Web sources carefully and obtain your instructor's approval before using them in an essay.
