Citing Sources

Citing Internet sources

Recent style manuals have started addressing the issue of citing Internet resources, but because the Internet is changing so rapidly, often the best place to go for guidance on citing these documents is the Internet itself. Be careful though, many sites are inaccurate. ALWAYS compare what you find on the net to the appropriate style manual to see if there are any inconsistencies in the general style used.

 Bibliographic Formats for Citing Electronic Information, based on Li and Crane's Electronic Styles: A Handbook for Citing Electronic Information, 2nd ed. (REF PN171.F56 L5 1996), is an excellent place to go for guidance on how to cite electronic sources. Please note that the examples given at this site should be indented according to the citation style that you are using.
