For poetry and other works best identified by line number, avoid theabbreviations l. (line) and ll. (lines); they are too easily confused with the numerals 1 and11.

Some books printed before 1800 do not carry pagenumbers but are divided into signatures and then into leaves or folios, each with a frontside (recto, or r) and a back side (verso, or v). Locators for such works should consist ofthe relevant string of numbers and identifiers, run together without spaces or italics: forexample, G6v, 176r, 232r–v, or (if you are citing entire folios) fol. 49.URLS, PERMANENT SOURCE IDENTIFIERS, ACCESS DATES, AND DESCRIPTIVE LOCATORS.For a book published online (see 17.1.10), include the book's URL in both a note and abibliography entry. Every URL begins with a lowercase abbreviation of the protocol used todeliver electronic material to readers, most commonly http (hypertext transfer protocol) andftp (file transfer protocol). This abbreviation is invariably followed by a colon and a doubleslash, after which appears the publisher's domain name, followed by the path to the resource.Components following the domain name are separated from the domain name and from eachother by single slashes.http://www.jsri.msu.edu/museum/pubs/MexAmHist/chapter14.html#sixCapitalize the internal components of a URL exactly as they appear on the screen. If theURL has a “trailing slash” at the end, include it. Do not enclose the URL in brackets. It is bestnot to break a URL at the end of a line, but if you need to do so, see 20.4.2 for someguidelines.Some online sources have permanent identifiers other than URLs. If a source uses digitalobject identifiers (DOIs) or a similar system, include information comparable to a URL inyour citation.doi:10.1006/jeth.2000.2694When you cite any online source, provide the date you last accessed it, in case the contenthas since changed or been removed from the Web (see 15.4.1). Put the access date inparentheses after the URL or permanent identifier.(accessed May 17, 2006)Books published online might not include page numbers to help identify the location of acited passage in a note. In this case, you may add a descriptive locator (such as a precedingsubheading) before the URL and access date (see 17.1.10 for an example). You need notinclude such a locator in a bibliography entry.www.itpub.net
