Do you need to include author, date, publisher, etc when referencing a website?? (1 Viewer)

[bored of sc]

Just a quick question.

When doing my PDHPE bibliography - I only wrote the weblink and date accessed.

But do you need to put author, title of website etc; or is that just an extra?

Confused


Thanks in advance

damn - the thing is I have like 5000 websites to reference

 

[bored of sc]

edit - I narrowed it down to like 10 websites

LOL Simon. Some teachers (ie. Ms Boukatos) have forbidden us to use Wikipedia - because she knows all we do is just go to the site and copy and paste.

I hate finding the authors of websites - its so hard to find - I usually end up writing author unknown or various authors

Well, my Modern History teacher says we can use Wikipedia for background reading to introduce us to the topic, but we must not use it at all to write up our actual report, nor should it be listed in our bibliography.

At our school we've got to use that Harvard thing, so this is what I do...
(And yep. Author unknown comes up a LOT.)

for a webpage
Goes: Author. Date published 'Title of page', Title of site, web address (date accessed)

book
Goes: Author. Date published, Title of book, publisher, location of publisher.


We don't need to include publisher for a website, I think.

But generally my bibliographies go:

[unknown author] Unknown date 'The webpage', the website, http://whatever (today).

I hope this helps.
