Bibliography for sites on the internet
I read some stuff and researched on how to write a bibliography for SITES but i don't get it =/. Why do you have to list so much? In my school, we made a chart: list the date that we found the site and write the url.
But on the site that i found, it says:
-
Website
Lynch, Tim. "DSN Trials and Tribble-ations Review." Psi Phi: Bradley's
Science Fiction Club. 1996. Bradley University. 8 Oct. 1997 <http://
www.bradley.edu/campusorg/psiphi/DS9/ep/503r.html>.
-
What's the stuff at the top line? What if i site i found isn't really professional and had nothing but a tiny bit of information that i used?
Can anyone set an example of a bibliography using this site for me or tell me about it in a more better detail? Thanky uo so much!

ok, so i'm going to assume that the form you're using is MLA- what the majority of english teachers in the US would want. here is a cite that i had to do for a project:
Dominguez, J. “All About Confucianism.” May 2006. Description and Personal Opinion of the World Religions and 101 Cults and Sects. 16 Nov. 2007 <web address>.
ok, so here's how you cite it:
Last Name, First Name. "Title of the Article or Page on the Website." Month and Year it was Published on the Website. Title of the Website itself. Date that you accessed the website (written in date, abbreviated month, year form) <web address>.
^that is a very very common way and you will be in good shape if you use it, unless your teacher gave you specific instructions to do something completely different, which would be a dumb thing to do in the first place.
if you have to follow that format and there's info missing, then just leave that info out. if you didn't know the date the stuff was published on the website, it's ok to leave that out. or if there's not an author, it's ok to leave that out too. here's what i would consider the bare minimum:
"Title of the Article or Page on the Website." Title of the Website itself. Date that you accessed the website (written in date, abbreviated month, year form) <web address>.
if you're having lots of trouble, go ahead and ask your teacher or the school librarian. this stuff is confusing so it's better to ask for help than to just be confused :)

No matter how much information you use from your source, you need to cite it in your bibliography anyway. You don't want to be accused of copying someone else's work, so it is important you document every source you use. Also even if you can't find an author, you still need to cite it. Use as much information as you have. Try using citationmachine.net Click on MLA because i bet that is what format your teacher wants, but definitely check. Then click on what the source you are citing is... If it is a website or book, etc. The site is great because then it gives you a section where you can fill in the information you have and it gives you the proper citation you need to put in your bibliography. The only thing you need to change on what they give you is whatever they show you to underline, make sure you italicize it instead. That is a change in the MLA format that my teacher said the site didnt update yet. Otherwise, everything else will be correct. I hope I helped.

okay, there are many different ways to do a bibliography
a common way is called MLA. thats what the example is
it a professional way to cite where you found information, they use it in college and so lots of high schools are having kids do it that way so they can get used to it.
for it there is a specific format where you name the author of the site, the name of the cite, the name of the web page, when it was revised, when you acsessed it, and the URL (its a lot. you can lot's of sites that help you and even some that do it for you when you provide certain info
ask your teacher for english which way she prefers, if your school does it using charts thats fine but its also good to be fimiliar with MLA.
hope you got it, i know it moght be confusing

for this one it doesn't have an author so you don't need to use it. The one at the top is a magazine. Author, title, magazine title, copywright, location, date went to website, website.
You would just do yours like:
"Title". Place, place (located at bottom of the website). date you accessed website no period then website.
