Re: City of Publication in Book Citations

[Alice Yucht <AliceInfo@aol.com>]

More and more, I'm wondering if the whole idea of
*Place of publication* is getting to be irrelevant in current
bibliographic citations.  Since so many publishers are becoming
multi-national, not to mention multi-format, I think just having
the NAME of the publisher should be sufficient (esp. considering
how much else -- URL's, date of access,  etc. -- must now be
included in the citation.).
Our kids sometimes have enough trouble identifying the author
and title; why make it even more complicated?
