Almost any kind of work can be published as a computer file or program:
• Are you citing an article, book, or pamphlet downloaded as a file?
Cite downloaded word-processing documents and PDF files like
online documents. Note that the URL will usually have a file suffix
such as .pdf or .doc, rather than .html. See Model 42
• Are you citing a downloaded multimedia file? For recordings and
images distributed over the Internet, use the guidelines for typical
audio/video works (see Sections 27b-9–11 on pages 318–323), but
replace the standard publication details with electronic publication and
access information for the downloaded file ( JPEGs, MP3s, etc.). See
Models 41, 43
• Is the source published on a CD-ROM or other electronic reference?
Some electronic sources are found on recorded media (see Section
27b-9 on pages 318–319), not the public Internet. Instead of typical
online publication details, list the version being used, the vendor,
and the year of production. Entries begin with typical acknowledgments
and titles for a source of similar genre (article, drawing, painting,
etc.). See Models 44, 45
• Are you citing a computer program, rather than its contents? List
the software’s title (underlined) and publication details for the installation
media. See Model 46
