1 Citing Sources

2 Wading Through the Web 3. How to cite your sources Citing Your Sources – Citing your sources means telling people where you got your information. Just as you list books and encyclopedias in your bibliography, you must also include the sources of information you got from the Internet. Citing your sources is important because it shows others how to find the same information you found. To cite a source on the Internet, you need to have a written record of the following information for each website that you actually use in your report or essay: » The name of the site and the author (Who made the website? A company? An organization? An individual?) » What day you found the information » The web address or URL » The copyright date for the website (usually found at the bottom of the homepage)

3 Wading Through the Web 3. How to cite your sources Citing Your Sources – Use the format below to add Internet resources to a bibliography: Author. Title of Website. Web address or URL. Copyright date. Date you found the information. For example, look at the following website on Vasco da Gama and compare it to the information below. (http://library.thinkquest.org/4034/dagama.html)http://library.thinkquest.org/4034/dagama.html Author: There is no specific author listed Title: ThinkQuest: Explorers of the Millennium Web address: http://library.thinkquest.org/4034/dagama.html Copyright date: 1998 (this is found by clicking on “ About this Site ” Date found: April 30, 2006
