Hm. I often use a sort-of APA reference that looks like: Author, A. (2006, 17 June) Web Page Title. Site Name. Retrevied 01/01/01 from http://yougettheidea.com. As regards the title, I use the window title if it has one and if it looks like they've remembered to change it, otherwise the title at the top of the page (Login - Step 2) or whatever. Would that work for you? E. On 23 May 2006, at 04:26, Michael Zimmer wrote:
Hi everyone - hate to post such a mundane question, but I could use some feedback on citing websites.
I frequently quote text from FAQs, Privacy Policies, login screens, etc from sites such as Google or Yahoo. When citing pages such as these, should they be referenced individually as if they are like any Internet document (inline citation as well as a full record in the bibliography)? My concern here is that one can rack up quite an extensive list if each individual page from a FAQ, for example, needs to be fully cited.
Or, is it acceptable just to footnote the URL and leave it at that?
(I tend to use APA)
Thanks, michael
