Print sources include information that enables the user to find it again, including author, title, date of publication, page numbers. Frequently, web based, non- subscription resources do not include the same information, which makes it much more difficult to cite in term papers. See Purdue Online Writing Lab's module on Evaluating Sources for more information.
