Citation of Resources Obtained on the Internet

Because of the relative newness of online resources, the methods for citing Internet content in bibliographies, endnotes, and footnotes are still under debate and subject to change. But the basic premise remains the same: to give credit to the author and to provide the information necessary for the reader to locate the source. By that token, the most important part of an Internet citation is its URL. With this information in hand, the source can be verified, and further details can be researched. However, it may surprise you to know that there's more than one acceptable standard when it comes to citing Internet resources.
