The answer to this is "that only certain people can access ONLINE..."
Any citation should give a full bibliographic citation that could be looked up offline as well. We would not want to subscribe to any content that is *solely* online and doesn't exist offline (such as stirnet.com). So a subscription to the San Francisco Chronicle, *could* be found in an offline format, the online link is merely a convenience link for those who have access to it. Readers without, should still be able to verify the content in another fashion.
