Alan Liu, whose Laws of Cool: Knowledge Work and the Culture of Information (Chicago, 2004) has finally landed on my desk, offers a Proposal for Revisions to MLA Style for Citing Web Resources:
While writing my book . . . I became aware of limitations in the current stylesheets or guidelines for citing Web resources. The best-known style guides are not intended for scholars who address “new media”—especially online new media—as their primary object of study (or one of their objects of study) rather than merely as a secondary resource. . . . For example, the study of a digital work might require citing different versions of a work, different dates of access, or the different levels of a site (main pages versus subpages or alternate sites).
Suggestions solicited.
