Citing Resources on the Internet.
Internet Resources The Internet is a terrific resource that your children can use for their research projects and homework assignments. When conducting research, students must learn to cite all the sources they use in their assignments. These sources include all the books, magazines, newspapers, and Web sites or other online resources they have used.
While there are several variations on acceptable formats for citing Internet resources, your children can use the following guidelines to cite their online resources in their bibliographies. They will want to follow these styles so that their teachers and other readers can return to the sites and check the information.
It's also wise to have your children print the online material they cite in their bibliographies in case their teachers or readers cannot link to the sites where the original material is located. This will provide printed proof of the original information they've cited.
Worldwide Web Sites To cite files available for viewing on the Worldwide Web via Netscape, Explorer, and other Web browsers, follow this style:
Style:
Author's Name. Full title of work (in quotation marks). Document date (if known), Full http address, Date of visit.
Example:
Pikulski, Jack.“The Role of Phonics in the Teaching of Reading.” Feb. 5, 1997,
http://www.eduplace.com/lds/article/phonics.htm, Oct. 6, 1997.
Note:
Since Internet sites can change or move over time, students might also want to cite the publisher of the material or Web site as verification.
