To build on Mary Jane's point, I think that the examples are useful but that there are also some serious omissions in that section of the NACO manual. There's no mention of $u at all and there isn't even one example showing a URL being used in a 670. In fact, the formula given there for including URLs is contributing to the problem because it shows the URL embedded in $a with other information: Internet, URL: [URL address],[date of search] $b ([information]) Since we're all supposed to be following the NACO manual, it's not surprising to me that we are not finding uniform practice. If there were an example to guide usage, I think we would all gratefully follow it. Celine Noel UNC-Chapel Hill Mary Jane Cuneo wrote: > Wayne, I do the same thing.
