[DCRM-L] Citing the new ESTC

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Dear colleagues,

As you all know, the public ESTC is moving in a couple of weeks to a freely-available web site on the British Library server. 

Since the ESTC exists in a number of different forms and delivery systems, the principles for formulating standard citations requires that the delivery system also be specified. When making 510's for the ESTC, I propose we cite it as ESTC (BL), unless anyone has a better idea.

There is also another question, which is, for those of us with access to the master STAR database, how do we cite that? (Juliet, are you listening?)
