This depends on the style your instructor prefers (MLA, Chicago,
Turabian), but Diana
Hacker's site and a site
from the Duke University libraries provide some good examples.
Hacker's site also includes examples of in-text citation.
The MLA site also has good examples at http://www.mla.org/publications/style/style_faq/style_faq4.
Please note that although your Works Cited page should use hanging
indents (i.e., indent the second line five spaces more than the
first line), this can't be done easily on a web page. Also, the
web address URL may be on a separate line since the space here
is limited, but it should not be (or does not have to be) on
a separate line in your document. Adjust your formatting accordingly.
None of the examples at MLA or the other sites listed exactly
addresses the materials at this site, so here are some possibilities.
1. For quoting from replies on the Queries and Student Queries
pages.
This is adapted from the Web
Forum Posting example at the Hacker site.
Author Lastname, Author Firstname. "Reply to Question." Online
posting. Date of reply. The William Dean Howells Society Site. Date
you accessed the page. <http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/howells/hsqueries02.htm
[or whatever the web address is]>.
Examples:
Tanguy, Guillaume. "Reply to 'Translation of 'a la Marquise.'"
Online posting. The William Dean Howells Society Site. 20
Nov. 2005. <http://www.howellssociety.org/hqueries.htm>.
Culbert, Gary . "Reply to 'The Shadow of
a Dream': Translation Question." Online
posting. 25 Feb. 2004. The William Dean Howells Society Site. 20
Nov. 2005. <http://www.howellssociety.org/hqueries04.htm>.
2. For quoting information provided on a specific page. (Note:
Sources of information are given on individual pages. If the
information is from another source, you should look up the original
source.)
This is adapted from the personal
site example on the MLA site, although it can't fit the
model exactly.
Author lastname, author firstname. "Page title." Date
of the page [this is found at the bottom of every page; MLA form
requires only the date of the most recent update]. The William
Dean Howells Society Site. Date
you accessed the page. <http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/howells/pagename.htm>.
(Note: You can use either address, www.howellssociety.org or
www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/howells)
Examples
Oggel, Terry . "Is John Updike our Howells?." 9 Jan.
1999. The
William Dean Howells Society Site. 20 November 2005. <http://www.howellssociety.org/oggel.htm>.
3. Depending on your instructor's preferences, you might also cite
this page as part of a scholarly project. Again, the example
below follows
the MLA example, this time for a scholarly project. Using
the information above, your Works Cited entry would look like
this:
Examples:
Oggel, Terry. "Is John Updike our Howells?" The
William Dean Howells Society Site. Ed. Donna Campbell.
9 Jan. 1999. Washington State University. 20 November 2005. <http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/howells/bio.htm>
Campbell, Donna. "A Biographical Sketch of Howells." The
William Dean Howells Society Site .
Ed. Donna Campbell. 30 May 2005. Washington State University. 20
November 2005. <http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/howells/hbio.html>. |
