How would you cite a book on the Internet Archive?
Bromley, Hank. Lisp Lore: A guide to Programming the Lisp Machine.1986.Internet Archive. Ed. Brewster Kahle. 2008. 30 October 2008. <http://www.archive.org/details/lisploreguidetop00brom>.
Is this correct? Is Brewster supposed to be listed in the citation?
How to cite a book that's in the Internet Archive, in a Wikipedia article
Here is an example:
<ref>{{cite book
|last = De Haes Janvier
|first = Francis
|author-link=Francis De Haes Janvier
|title = The Sleeping Sentinel
|publisher = T.B. Peterson & Brothers
|year = 1863
|location = Philadelphia
|pages = 19
|url=https://archive.org/details/sleepingsentin3344janv/page/n3
}}</ref>
The URL should end with /page/SOMETHING where SOMETHING leads the viewer to the main title page of the book (e.g. /page/n3 in the above example). If there is a page= value in the citation, then instead taking people to the main title page, use that page of the book in the URL.
If the book is not publicly viewable, but instead requires logging in to an Internet Archive account to borrow it briefly, then also include this tag after the url= tag:
|url-access=registration
This will cause a dotted padlock icon to be added to the citation.
