[DCRM-L] Citing ESTC

Thu Sep 6 13:54:36 MDT 2007

The issue goes beyond the particular case of the ESTC citation forms,
doesn't it? Are the general instructions in SCF IV.F. going to be revised as
well? What about the ISTC citation forms, won't they need revision?

btw, if we end up keeping the qualifier, here are more arguments for
dropping the hyphen: the text of SCF itself uses "online" not "on-line" and
when we qualify uniform title headings in X30 fields, we use "(Online)" not
"(On-line)".
