Reference help

[Aelia Jusa]

Does anyone know the correct way to reference a website? Both in footnotes and a reference list. I'm using a reference system (doesn't seem to have a name like the Harvard system or such) that cites books like this:

Greenhalgh, M. The Classical Tradition in Art. Duckworth, London, 1978.

and journal articles like this:

Arneson, R.J. (1989). ‘Equality and Equal Opportunity for Welfare’, Philosophical Studies, 56, 77-93

but the book I'm using doesn't say how to do websites, as in the correct information and order to put it in.

Sorry can't help you. My friend now some good sites though... I'll go check.

Hi, Aelia. Galadria still misses Pink.
When I took a course a few years back in World Lit, they told me to 1,)Give the address of the site in the form of the URL, like:

Atkinson, William, and Atkinson, Laurie; The Cosmological Significance of Fall-from-Grace's Name in Planescape: Torment; http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...f=10;t=011285, 1999.
But, that was a few years back, and those things change all of the time. Hope that this helps. Oh, and they said to print out the portion of the text that you quote from.

Found it here.

Great, thanks Attalus [img]smile.gif[/img] . Yeah too easy to plagarise from the internet, we have to email our essays to lecturers as well as hand in hard copies for some subjects now so they can run programs that check for plagarism off the net. I'm just using a web based art gallery but for good impressions of paintings; don't trust internet sites for actual information, too much dodgy shite \

Edit: That looks perfect True Moose, thanks! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Azred blows the dust off his Hodges Harbrace Handbook.

In the MLA section, it shows an example: "Name of the Article." Date. Available http://www.website.net/whatever.

This is not too different from what Attalus wrote; I suppose either method would work. If you're still unsure, look for a current MLA handbook in your library's reference section or ask a librarian. [img]graemlins/erm.gif[/img] That is for general papers; if you're writing under scientific research rules, then I would look up a published journal and see how they do it there.

According to the back of my school homework diary, all you need is the URL and the date of download; and then any other information that could help retrieve your source. [img]smile.gif[/img]
