:And Google Books [http://books.google.com/books?id=ls_XijT33IUC ls_XijT33IUC]. What other archive systems are used? --''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850&nbsp;(Ed)</span>]]'''''^{[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]} 09:42, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

::at [[WebCite]] users can archive single webpages. the Internet Archive also crawls for site/page snapshots and these may follow the rate of change of the originals. Google Books is different, as it may act more like an online publisher than an archival service.

Here is the id_handler example for LCCN from [[Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration]].

<pre>

parameters = {'LCCN', 'lccn'} How specified in the citation template, i.e. LCCN=

link = 'Library of Congress Control Number' Wikipage to link to at the ID label

label = 'LCCN' Text to use for the ID label

mode = 'external' Indicates an external link (the typical case)

prefix = 'http://lccn.loc.gov/' Start of the url to use with the ID

suffix = '' Anything to include in the url after the ID

COinS = 'rft.lccn' Where to map the data in [[COinS]]

encode = false Whether the ID must be urlencoded

separator = '&amp;nbsp;' Separator to use between the ID label and the ID

</pre>

When given LCCN=123456, this generates output that looks like:

<nowiki>[[Library of Congress Control Number|LCCN]]&nbsp;[http://lccn.loc.gov/123456 123456]</nowiki> = [[Library of Congress Control Number|LCCN]]&nbsp;[http://lccn.loc.gov/123456 123456]

If you can figure out how to update the fields for Internet Archive, Google Books, or some other ID scheme, then they would be easy to add. A few ID schemes (including Open Library) don't easily map to this format and have to be specially handled, so that is possible too, but it would take more effort.
