Guide for Citing Electronic Information
Previous version of this guide can be found here.The examples below use characteristics of APA citation style, but exact APA protocols are not yet defined. The goal of a citation is to allow the information to be retrieved again. With this in mind, check to make sure that the information you provide will allow your reader to retrieve the material you cite. Electronic information MUST be evaluated. Confirm the authority, accuracy, and currency of the material you find online. Consult your instructor about using WWW-derived information. Punctuation and capitalization of the ìelectronic addressî of the resource should appear exactly as it is used in the database.
