ПРОБЛЕМ ЦИТИРАЊА ЕЛЕКТРОНСКИХ ИНФОРМАЦИЈА
Problem of Quoting Electronic Information

Summary/Abstract: Living and working in contemporary digital environment is inevitably marked by growing impact of informational technologies in each segment of society. Internet expansion, as the largest global informational resource, and the digital revolution that took place in the last decade of the XX century, besides opening, by that time inconceivably large opportunities in the fi eld of research, also brought up numerous problems concerning the application of new technologies in historical research. The subject of this article is the problem of quoting electronic information, a problem that a growing number of our researchers face each day. We are trying to explain, as simple as possible, what the problems that historians inevitably face when quoting electronic sources and literature are. There are, also, suggestions about how to quote, followed by pertinent examples. We pointed out at the new types of historical sources (e-mail, forums, discussion lists, electronic conferences, public comments, blogs). Suggestions are made on how to quote such sources. Avoiding taking given suggestions as fi nal and only valid, we advise historians to be consistent and to stick to one chosen way of quoting, as well as to be ready to take challenges that contemporary historiography faces.
