I guess this is the best place to mention Janice Walker's MLA-Style Citation Format for Electronic Resources, which describes citation formats for PostScript preprints, mailing list messages, Web pages, and so forth, in a style consistent with the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers.
If you use this database regularly, please read the detailed information, especially what it says about ``many hands make light work''. Please help maintain the database by checking references to your own work, adding entries that you find are missing, and correcting entries in which you find errors. Nobody else can do this more accurately or more efficiently. Updates for the next release of the bibliography should be sent to Bill, in "diff -c" format, by the week of March 8, 1998.
Over the last few years, the number of incorrect or unusable GeomBib entries has grown
alarmingly. Papers are listed with incorrect titles, missing authors, incorrect or
missing page numbers, misspelled journal names, overly abbreviated conference names, and
so on. My guess is that roughly 5% of the entries in the current release contain a
mistake of some kind! Contributions to GeomBib should be correct,
complete, and consistent with the rest of the bibliography. Bill
does a marvelous job maintaining the bibliography; it is unreasonable to expect him to
verify, much less correct, every submitted entry. Authors and contributors need to do
this themselves. Please correct references to your own work, and please verify each new
entry against the actual source before submitting it. Britta Landgraf's program
BibConsist can be a big help, but it can only detect inconsistencies, not errors
in isolated entries, and those inconsistencies must still be corrected by hand.
Obviously, no project of this size can be perfect, but we can do better.

The Los Alamos e-print archive is quickly becoming the standard mechanism for distributing prepublished work in mathematics and (especially) physics. You can support the archive by submitting your papers and citing e-prints in your bibliographies.
