Commenting in the margins of a text itself is so simple for paper and print, yet replicating the experience online remains elusive.

But over the years, more and more bibliographies have suffered from “reference rot”: Cited URLs are broken links or point to a page that no longer contains the content the author originally cited. In this column, I look at several studies showing how reference rot has affected different academic disciplines. I also examine citation styles’ approach to citing Web sources. I then turn to emerging Web citation practices: Perma, a “freemium” Web archiving service specifically for citation; and the Internet Archive, the largest Web archive.}, number={3}, journal={Behavioral & Social Sciences Librarian}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Davis, Robin Camille}, year={2016}, month={Jul}, pages={128–134} } @article{davis_2015, title={Git and GitHub for Librarians}, volume={34}, DOI={10.1080/01639269.2015.1062586}, abstractNote={One of the most rapidly growing professional social networks is GitHub, an online space to share code.
