Web Pages

To cite a professional or personal site, begin with the author’s name (first, last). If no author is listed, start with the title of the Web page (underlined). If the page has no title, use a description such as Home page (neither underlined nor in quotation marks). Continue with the date the page was created, the name of any institution or organization associated with the site, the date of access (the page you looked at and/or printed out the page), and the Web address.

When you are citing a magazine or book from the Internet, you need to cite the magazine or book first, then add the Internet information to it.
