This worksheet is a template to help you organize information for your bibliography (Works Cited page) when using sources from the internet. Since there is no specific article or website provided in the image to cite, I cannot fill in the specific details like author names or dates.
However, I can explain exactly what information you need to find on your website to complete each section of this form.
How to Fill Out This Worksheet
You will need to look at the webpage you are using for your research and find the following details:
1. For a Website or Electronic Encyclopedia:
*
Author last name, first name: Look for the person who wrote the article. It is often at the very top or very bottom of the page. If there is no person listed, you might use the organization's name (like "NASA" or "National Geographic").
*
Title of Article in Quotation Marks: This is the headline of the specific page you are reading. Put it inside "quotes".
*
Site Title in Italics: This is the name of the whole website (e.g., *Wikipedia*, *Britannica*, *CNN*).
*
Volume Number and Number: This is mostly for online encyclopedias that act like books. Most regular websites do not have this. If you don't see it, leave it blank.
*
Sponsor: This is the company or group that pays for the website. It is often found in the footer (bottom) of the page.
*
Date Posted/Updated: Look for a date near the author's name or at the bottom of the article.
*
Access Date: This is simply
today's date (the day you looked at the website).
*
URL in angled brackets: This is the web address (starting with http:// or www.). Put it inside `< >`.
2. For a Print Periodical Article from a Website:
*(Use this section if you are looking at an online version of a magazine or newspaper)*
*
Author of Article: Same as above.
*
Title of Article in Quotation Marks: The headline of the story.
*
Title of Periodical in Italics: The name of the magazine or newspaper (e.g., *Time Magazine*, *The New York Times*).
*
Volume Number and Number: Often found in the header of the online article.
*
Date of Periodical: The date the magazine/newspaper was published (not just when it was posted online).
*
URL: The web address where you found it.
