Indeed it is! However since there are many students use Camino (hopefully many more), the Bookmark Manager should be capable of storing all the relevant information needed to produce a citation. This problem was noted in another thread "saving URL". This style guide from the University of Alberta < http://www.library.ualberta.ca/guides/citation/index.cfm > seems state things clearly (this one based on the Chicago Style Guidelines): <http://www.library.ualberta.ca/guides/citation/index.cfm#Chicago > A Newspaper Article Avery, B.

Retrieved November 1, 2001, from http://www.apastyle.org/elecref.html Currently Camino keeps Date Last Visited, and number of times visited. These are interesting statistics, but irrelevant for citation purposes. Adding several other date and time related fields is what I am suggesting. The number of times I've visited a page is interesting but not essential (to me) and I am definitely not interested in a my top 10 (though others may be). Users should be able to extract all the information needed to produce a correctly formatted citation from the Bookmark Manager without the need of a third party extension. Date retrieved is a necessity as it goes to the state of the document on a certain date and time. Even if the link becomes broken, knowing that is was there, and being able to document it is essential. For instance, I am currently trying to find information on a particular event in Apple/Microsoft history which seems to have completely disappeared. Had I thought to save a link to that document, dead or not, I would have at least some information as to where the information was circa 1998. I am collecting far more source material that I can use, however, while the hunt continues, I am amassing even more bookmarked sites of interest. I desperately need to be able to scale the fonts to an easily readable size. If this is not feasible then could the font size be magnified as you move line by line down the list. I have a lot of Bookmarks and desperately need better ways of managing these inside my browser. I need to cull the list but currently its very difficult because of basic things like font size (everywhere else in the OS X Finder, this is scalable) The Groups side panel should be able to be hidden if the user wishes. Personally I find it of limited use. Others may find this panel indispensable, but what I am saying is that the user should have that choice. As I started writing the posts about Bookmarks, I have realised just how frustrated I have been in general with how all browsers handle Bookmarks! A good Bookmark manager could save hours of searching. Cheers, David -- David Fedoruk B.Mus.
