How to cite an Internet source

There are two ways to cite an Internet source that will be required in this class.


First, you can and should tell where your information is coming from in the body of your essay.
 You do it like this- 

In his article in the New York Post titled Please Leave Wall Street Alone!, Joe Smith said that " The protesters are a bunch of unorganized idiots...."

This way it is vey clear where the information came from.


Second, you must put the same information in a bibliography at the end of your essay. This is where you include the URL address, the name of the website, the author, and the date it was written and or the date that you found and read it.


Please go to this link from Montgomery College for examples on how cite an Internet source in a bibliography.
