3.15 Bibliography

Creating a Bibliography Entry - Webpage

Web Pages also need to be included in your bibliography. You need to include web pages that you used information from. If you only looked at the web page, you don't need to include it.

Here's what you need to include, in this order

1. Title of web page - look at the very top of your browser.
2. Author of web page. If there is no author, you can leave this part out.
3. The exact URL of the page you visited, such as http://www.online.com.
4. The date you accessed the information.

Here's a screen shot from a web page. What information do you think you need to include?

The title of the page is at the very top. Also at the top you'll find the web address (URL). There does not seem to be any indication of who the author might have been.

Which of the following would be the correct way to include this in your bibliography?

a. BottleNose Dolphins, National Geographic; accessed today's date

b. National Geographic Bottlenose Dolphins, https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/bottlenose-dolphin/

c. https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/bottlenose-dolphin/; accessed today's date

d. Bottlenose Dolphins Facts and Pictures - National Geographic Kids; https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/bottlenose-dolphin/; accessed today's date.

Do you know why that one is the correct one?
