Citation examples
Web site
Sometimes Web sites don't have obvious authors. The Creative Commons page on the CC licenses[citation needed] is an example of this. I can also use a template to refer to the same source.[1]
Video posted online
A video that was assigned for class was CGP Grey's "Copyright: Forever Less One Day".[2] However, it would probably be more appropriate to use the {{cite web}} template to refer to this source.[3]
News sources
The Sacco article we read[4] is an example of a newspaper article (even though it was published online). The Abdelmahmoud article[5] is also a news item, although in that case the media is entirely online.
Journal articles vs. news
DiFranzo and Gloria-Garcia's article on filter bubbles[6] is an example of an article in a professional journal. Buell's column on the risks of online voting[7] isn't really a journal article, even though it was published by a professional organization (the Association for Computing Machinery), because it was published on a blog rather than in a proper journal.
Books
The CSC 201 textbook, John Zelle's Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science[8], is a paper book with its own Web page. The CSC 202 textbook, Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures using Python by Bradley Miller and David Ranum[9] exists (in that edition) only online, which is why it has no ISBN (at least as far as I know). (It also has two authors.) Dorothy L. Sayers' Are Women Human? Penetrating, Sensible, and Witty Essays on the Role of Women in Society[10] has an ISBN, but no Web presence.

Recommended summer reading for faculty and staff over summer 2020 included White Fragility, by Robin DiAngelo.[citation needed]
During the course of the term, the class reads shorter works dealing with the societal issues—some quite old—that have taken on substantial new dimensions with the rise of computing. For instance, for the last couple of centuries, countries have used control of the copying process to compensate creative work. Computers' ability to make error-free copies of information in huge volumes at nearly zero cost has upended this approach, leading to all kinds of legal and technical stopgaps. Two of the articles recommended to the class on this topic were Richard Stallman's "The GNU Manifesto"[citation needed] and Cory Doctorow's "About those kill-switched Ukrainian tractors".[citation needed]
Other societal issues are discussed as well, although the exact list of issues changes somewhat from year to year. One article that has been assigned in the past is been Nolan Bushnell's article "Relationships between fun and the computer business",[citation needed] which sets out to discuss gamification and (possibly inadvertently) raises some fascinating questions about animal (and, by extension, human) identity. Another article used in the past is "When discrimination is baked into algorithms", by Lauren Kirchner, [citation needed] which considers the effects of computer programs that are based on (sometimes unconscious) discriminatory assumptions.
