Notes

• Author: The author's name may be on the top or bottom of the page. It may even be listed on a separate page, such as the website's home page, instead of each individual page. Organizations (ex. American Medical Association) may also be authors. If no author is listed, start with the title.
• Date: Unlike printed materials, webpages can be updated frequently. Include the date of the page as well as the date you looked at it in case the information on it is later changed. If the page has no date, list the date you looked at it.
• Webpage/Website: Think of the website as a book and each webpage as a chapter (or article) in that book. A webpage will usually have a link somewhere on it that will lead to the homepage of that website. If it doesn't, try deleting the information after the last slash in the page's address, and see where that takes you.
• Host: A website may be hosting itself, or it may be hosted by another company. You might be able to determine this by looking at the website's address. If not, deleting all of the information after the first slash in the address should take you to the host's webpage. This is important because some hosts evaluate all of the pages on their server, and some will let their members post anything. For example: health information hosted on the American Medical Association's server is likely to be more reliable than health information hosted by an internet service provider that gives free webspace to all of its clients.
• Periodicals: Include the volume number, issue number, pages, and date of the printed version or as much of this information as you can. When you access the article through a database, it may have an extremely long address that consists of many database codes and session identifiers. In these cases, list the address of the database's homepage since the long address will probably no longer work after a few minutes.
• Arrange the items on your reference list alphabetically by author, interfiling the different kinds of websites, books, articles, etc.
