Problem is a lot of books are rather questionable. However dead tree worship means people generally ask fewer questions. The reality is that your average person is unlikely to access to journals and only have books to hand on a narrow range of subjects. Under those conditions the web is by far the most likely viable source of citations. -- geni _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
