[LM_NET] TARGET: MLA citing of document on a website

[Carol Valdez <Carol.Valdez@PISD.EDU>]

** Confidential **

I have a copy of the 1995 MLA Handbook, which is too dated for what I
need.  I can also go to Son of Citation Machine, etc, but wanted to see
what you had to say.

I have a question from our G/T teacher, who is a challenging teacher
with challenging students, and I would greatly appreciate any help!

Her question is:

"If you are reading the Declaration of Independence on the Internet,
how do you cite that document and the web site you saw it in?"

She added: "If you see the Declaration in a textbook, you cit it "rpt"
(reprinted in...) but how do you do it if it is online?"

This feels like "stump-the-librarian" time, so I am most appreciative
of any help you can provide!!

Sincerely, 
Carol Valdez
