Results of a recent poll on using internet `rescues put this complaint on the top of the list! It also is the `biggest single factor in rejecting sites nominated for the prestigious `Siggy award from USIGS. No citing -- no citation. `John Gideon, who chairs the Siggy award committee, calls attention to `the problems of not citing sources in an article in the latest Signal, `biweekly newsletter of USIGS. `<A HREF="http://www.usigs.org/signal/99-01-1.htm#lincoln">Click here: `USIGS SIGNAL January 1, 1999</A> `or try http>//www.usigs.org/signal/signal.htm `I for one deeply appreciate all of you who have directed me to your `websites, especially those USGenweb pages for individual counties. On `many I have found some great information, and some great clues. But I `too have been frustrated by the lack of documentation. `A great New Year's Resolution, everybody? No longer sighting uncitely `sites -- we can say we "sank same!" `love `joan
