Hypertext style conventions

I’m facing the decision of whether to hyperlink to the original source or to my end-text referencing in my online writing. Becky pointed out that hyperlinking to the end text reference means that I’d be following print-text conventions whereas hyperlinking to the original source means following hypertext conventions (although these don’t seem to be written in the APA style guide!!). But what happens when I want to hyperlink my in-text citations to books? Should I link to the end-text reference, or should I link to an online source (e.g. Google Books or Amazon)?

Hmm.

You can use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>
