electricka's resource shelf
-
ETAF's only criterion for citing an arts-related
resource, reference work, or off-site link in Electricka's resource Shelf is the quality and usefulness of the citation
for visitors. Electricka is the sole judge of
a citation's relevance, quality, and usefulness.
-
The reference works and web sites cited in Electricka's
Resource Shelf
are not owned or operated by ETAF.
-
ETAF has no vested interest and receives absolutely no
benefit or profit from citing an arts-related resource or reference work
or an off-site link except the satisfaction of helping her visitors and the arts generally.
-
In rare instances, ETAF may have exchanged links with
another web
site listed in the Resource Shelf. ETAF authorizes another web site to post links to Electricka's web
site only if, in Electricka's opinion, visitors to the other site would
benefit from a visit to Electricka's web site. Conversely, Electricka posts links
to another web site only if, in Electricka's opinion, visits to the other
web site would benefit Electricka's visitors and the arts generally.
-
Visitors are advised to confirm the
accuracy of information they
find in Electricka's Resource Shelf and the information contained in the
cited resources and reference works. ETAF is not responsible for information
content, quality, accuracy, validity, or omissions from the Resource Shelf or from
the cited references.
-
Web sites frequently change their contents,
organization, and sponsorship; some change their address or go off the air
completely. ETAF is not responsible for any aspect of the
availability or operation of any web site cited by Electricka's Resource
Shelf.
-
Some third-party web sites listed on Electricka's
Resource Shelf may charge for their services in whole or in part or may
offer to sell you products for purchase. Also, some of the items on
Electricka's Shelf are only available for purchase from others, for
example reference books such as dictionaries. Electricka is not
responsible for financial transactions or other arrangements you choose to
make with these third parties.
-
Many third-party web sites enforce copyright and
trademark restrictions. You are cautioned to honor these restrictions.
ETAF is not a party to nor is it responsible for how you use the
information you find at these sites.

quality and integrity of information
Some of the references you will find at sites on the web are stripped
down versions of another work or reference available from the same source
that bears the same name. The stripped down version will not be as complete;
it may also be less accurate, and the treatment given the subject matter may
be less varied or different in other respects.
Cases vary. Sometimes:
- A more complete version may also be available online.
- A more complete version may be available off-line in the form of a
traditional printed reference work such as a dictionary or encyclopedia.
Access to many online references is free; access to other online
references is available for a fee. Here, too, cases vary:
If an online reference has a counterpart with the same name, a more
complete version of the reference work may be available:
- Online in the form of a subscription you must pay for.
- In the form of a printed or other traditional reference work that
you must purchase, such as a bound dictionary or encyclopedia.

—warning— online vs.
traditional references
Some of the references you will find at sites on the web are stripped
down versions of another work or reference available from the same source
that bears the same name. The stripped down version will not be as complete;
it may also be less accurate, and the treatment given the subject matter may
be less varied or different in other respects.
Always check to make sure that an online reference that bears a title you
are familiar with has content comparable to or identical with its
traditional, more familiar off-line counterpart. The online version may
not be as accurate, complete, or varied. If the online version is
different from the off-line version, satisfy yourself that the answers or
other information you receive from the online version are adequate for
your purposes. |
There are so many web sites on the Internet and so much material
about each one that
it is impractical to attempt to describe more than a smattering of what's available.
possible threats
Forgive us for stating what for you may be the obvious.

—warning— always watch out
for hackers and Unwanted marketeers Some web sites
on Electricka's Resource Shelf or listed on other pages and in other
features of Electricka's web site may attempt to download hacking or
marketing software to your computer; among these are viruses, worms,
Trojan Horses, spyware, adware, and cookies. Electricka is not responsible
for these kinds of actions by third-party web sites. Anyone visiting any
web site for any reason should always take proper measures to protect
himself from unwanted intrusions like these. Sound online practice dictates that you always protect
your computer against these or similar threats.
