Internet istographic tools: citing the sites

摘要

Bibliographic tools for print materials have been available for almost as long as the materials they cite. If a selection of print resources for a given subject exists, one can almost be certain that a subject bibliogrpahy has bene complied and published, either on its own or as part of a larger work. A variety of discographies, filmogrpahices, and other similar tools are also readily available for other media. It is only naturla that the increase in electronic publishing on the Internet should spawn a comparable "istographic" sub-trend. This paper, after providing a definition of and justification for istographic tools, -- Internet-published citation lists of Internet publications - provides a non-evaluative examination of these tools as resources for those wishing to do research via the Internet.
