A great deal of government information is now available in electronic formats. They contain information in every form from numeric data to graphic images. Because many of these sources appear in several different formats, including paper, it is important to include enough information to differentiate your source from others. Even though an electronic source citation may be complex, basic elements are still the same. These are not issuing agencies but will be included later in the citation.
Many electronic products display issuing agency information in the form of an agency symbol or logo.
Since electronic products often go through title changes, try to be as accurate as possible when citing. Use the title exactly as it appears using appropriate symbols, acronyms, and abbreviations. Include any personal or corporate authors after the title. Electronic products also often have combinations of numbers and letters unique to each near the title. Include medium in parenthesis after the title and any authors or numbers.
