CITING WEBSITES:

For online articles or online written sources, the first part

looks like a regular citation from a printed journal with

author and title, plus any volume number, etc. The last part

must give the date that you viewed the website, plus the URL,

using the following phrase: "Accessed on (date you looked at the website)"

Most of your CMTY 111 Web Reports will look at an entire

website rather than an online article. If the website

has an author, a "title," and a date, then use

these in your citation. Many websites do not have any

author or date listed, so you may cite the name or title

of the website as shown below:

EXAMPLES....

GVU's 8th WWW user survey. (n.d.).
