Description

Recently, the use of Internet resources has increased in the references of articles in scholarly journals. Readers may not be able to access to the Internet references later, because the Web pages are frequently revised or removed. This study examines the availability of 858 Internet references cited or referred to in the articles published in four library and information science journals in 2005 and 2007. 28% of the Internet references in 2007 could not be located at the URLs that authors of articles provided, and 41% could not be located in 2005. The author tried to access the Internet references that were not found at the URLs by searching in the Web sites and using Google. The author found that 89% of the Internet references were available on the Web in 2007, and 82% were available in 2005. Archiving of Internet references, proper management of Web sites, correct citations and complete bibliographic description will improve the accessibility to the references from sources on the Internet.
