Children and the ditigal age

Well, if it's found in an online database such as JSTOR etc., I know you have to cite that database.

*sigh* Actually, you don't. If you do, then a lot of my professors have been dropping the ball.

I just found my Turabian. If you have her book (which I assume since you mentioned her name), I am referring to section 17.5 on page...180-181 I believe. I'll be out of the house for a bit, so if you need me to quote it, I'll do so tomorrow evening.

I'm still on vacation (until Tuesday), so I can't check it until then. But I'm fairly sure that the people who so carefully scrutinized my thesis would have caught such an egregious error.

Have you ever thought that maybe it's you that was taught wrong?

Hard to believe that if you don't read heresy, eh?

What does our discussion have to do with heresy. We're arguing the points of the Chicago Manual Style; not religion.

[Rapscallion]

You don't read things you're taught not to believe. Then you claim that others have been taught wrong.

No, I said that, perhaps our misunderstanding of the Chicago Manual is due to her being taught it wrong. Of course, I am willing to concede that perhaps one of my professor's taught me wrong as well. Religion has nothing to do with this discussion.

Highly unlikely. I present for your 'approval':

Master's Thesis advisor - top theatre historian, published upwards of 10 books
Master's Thesis also went to a separate office that double-checked every footnote, margin, heading, page number, and the works cited page.

I've also submitted papers to 6 different professors in my Ph.D. career, and I usually use Turabian. (Some professors still prefer MLA.) Not once have any of them corrected me.

Pulling a journal article from an online database, like JSTOR, is no different than going to the library and copying it. If it is available in print, then it is cited as a print source, regardless of how you retrieved it.

[Hobbs]

Then I must concede that I must have misunderstood. Did you have to be so snarky about it?

PS: Turabian is just the person.

Found it. It was on a different page, so I assume we've got different editions (mine is the 7th). Section 17.5 referred me back to 17.2.7 "Article Published Online". I will concede that the wording is tricky, but IMO, it refers to journals only available online.

Either way, to somehow get this train back on the original track, any professor or TA who sees "American Journal of Sociology" or "Journal of Philosophy" or anything like that on a citation will consider it a legitimate source.
