Hi all,
I have run into a question about citations for which I cannot find an answer in The Bluebook.
Due to a pending move, most of our books are in boxes and inaccessible. Thus, we are relying solely on electronic resources to remain in business until we get moved and can unpack.
The question has come up as to what date to use in encyclopedia citations taken from Westlaw (both AmJur2d and CJS). We have pulled the text of the sections needed and have gotten the text as it appears online. The volume and section are clearly identified but it also indicates that the online text has been updated to "May 2006." Thus, we know that this is not necessarily the text found in the book but we cannot get to the book to double check either the desired text or copyright date. How are you handling dates for citations like this--logic tells me we should be using the 2006? But if we do, how do we indicate that it was taken from the electronic rather than the book version?
Oh the joys of version control...
Thank you.
