Assignment (8B) Practice citing your sources in a bibliography.

HOW TO CITE INTERNET SOURCES IN A PAPER

When citing Internet sources in a paper, you must be sure to answer the following questions:

1. Who wrote or edited it? (authors/editors/translators)

2. What is it called? (title)

3. What is the name of the Website (usually the name on the 'banner' on top.)

4. What is the name of the organization/company/person who runs the Website (look at the bottom of the page or click on "about us")

5. When was it published? (date)

6. Where did you find it- in a book, magazine, website, newspaper, dvd? (answer- Website)

7. When did you access the site? (the date that you looked at it on the Internet)

The URL address (it must work and take you to the article, not just the home page!)
Here is an example:

John Walke, Extreme pollution agenda in Senate targets lifesaving clean air standard, Grist:a Beacon in the Smog. Grist Magazine, Nov. 10, 2011. Website. Nov 13,2011   http://www.grist.org/pollution/2011-11-10-extreme-pollution-agenda-in-senate-targets-lifesaving-clean-air-

This includes the information you must have-

The Author(s), Title of the Article, Name of web site. Name of organization or company that owns the  site, date published or updated. Where you found it (Book, DVD, Newspaper or Web.) Date of your access (when you looked at it), the URL address.

It is important that the Internet address link actually work. It should take you or your college professor directly to that article on that website. (Test the one above!)

To make a bibliography, you just make a list of these sources on the last page of your essay.

The last thing you do is make the list alphabetical according to the author's name. Go to the links below and create the five citations. Do it the same way as the example above! Don't forget to make the list alphabetical.
When you have done that, email it to me! Thank You.
