<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your question prompted a flurry of emails amongst the SCF editors yesterday! I have been delegated the task of summarizing where we are. Here is the current wording of the relevant guideline:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#558ED5">All versions of the same resource, regardless of medium, should be given the same citation, provided that their content and numbering remain the same across
all formats. If numbering or content varies between versions or formats, treat each version or format as a different edition and add an appropriate qualifier.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, VD-16 is correct without the qualifier. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your question to the list is a good opportunity to do a plug for the public hearing for the revision of SCF at Midwinter Sunday 1:00-2:30. More later from our chair Marcia Barrett.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ellen<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><snip><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">What is the current preferred qualifier for citing online bibliographic databases? Early proposals suggested “(WWW)” … but that seems dated to me now. I think “(online)” was also proposed. Also if a resource
ONLY exists online (such as VIAF, or the ESTC) do we need to specify that we accessed it online?</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">E.g.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">VD-16 vs.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">VD-16 (online)</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">to distinguish the print version from online version</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">vs. VD-17 which only exists online. Should it be qualified as an online only resource? That seems redundant.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
