Opening up sources to include more than texts...

While I understand the value of text only sources I also see the detriment.  Since the core of this class is focus primarily on electronic media it would stand to reason that citations from an electronic source would also be appropriate.  If we were to take the argument that only physical paper books can be used for citation and research we would be restricting the liqidity and hampering the creative process.  You can see that I am correct by looking at the past few years since the explosion of blogs, posts, comments, etc.  You can see that this new medium allows for instant searching, instant retrieval and instant citation with mere clicks.  When looking at books it is much more difficult to do that considering it is not at fluid.  By limiting the ability to quickly locate, isolate, quantify and classify the context to research would be reducing the depth and diversity of the citations and in turn reducing the ability to reinforce the perspective of this paper.
