Websites

You may not be able to find complete citation information for every website. Try to include as much of the following as you can:

  • Author(s)
  • Title of the page (in quotes)
  • Title or owner of the site
  • Access date
  • The date the site was last modified
  • URL

You will insert a date before the URL. That date should be (in order of preference): the website published date, the date the site was last modified, or the date you accessed the website.

To cite a recording you listened to on YouTube, see the Audio Recordings tab.
