Writing a Bibliography: Entries for Web Sites

A bibliographic entry for a Web site is similar to a footnote for a Web site. The differences are that in a bibliographic entry, the author's name (where known) has the last name entered first and the title and date are followed by periods.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Kantner, John. "Chetro Ketl Great Kiva." n.d. <http://www.sscf.ucsb.edu/anth/projects/great.kiva/index.htmlV> (12 May 1997).

When footnoting a Web site or making an entry for one in a bibliography, always copy down the URL exactly as it appears on the computer screen. You may break the URL after a slash or before a period, colon, or underscore.

For more extended examples of bibliographic entries, see A Student's Guide to History, eighth edition, pages 135-136.
