I am using a source on the Web that has no page numbers. How do I cite it?\nIn the text of a paper, works on the Web are cited just like printed works. For any type of source, you must include information in your text that directs readers to the correct entry in the works-cited list (see the MLA Handbook, 6th ed., sec. 6.2). Web documents generally do not have fixed page numbers or any kind of section numbering. If your source lacks numbering, you cannot cite numbers when you borrow from it.\n\nIf your source includes fixed page numbers or section numbering (such as numbering of paragraphs), cite the relevant numbers. For numbers other than page numbers, give the appropriate abbreviation before the numbers: "(Moulthrop, pars. 19-20)." (Pars. is the abbreviation for paragraphs. Common abbreviations are listed in the MLA Handbook, sec. 7.4.) Do not count paragraphs yourself if your source lacks numbering.\n\nFor a document on the Web, the page numbers of a printout should normally not be cited, because the pagination may vary in different printouts. An exception is PDF files, which appear with the same pagination on all systems.

If you're in college, it would depend on your field...but here are some basic guidelines:\n\nFor the first time you reference an article in a magazine in a footnote, list all the information (author, article title, magazine title, publication date, and pages) as follows:\n\n                1Andrew Jackson, “My Side of the Story,” U.S. News & World Report, 5 March 1837, 45-61.\n\nFor the second and subsequent times you reference an article in a scholarly journal:  List only the last name of the author, the tile of the work and the pages.  The other publication information does not have to be listed again.\n\n2Jackson, “My Side of the Story,” 67.\n\nIf the footnote refers to the same work you have used in the footnote immediately preceding the current one, type the word Ibid. and the page number.\n\n3Jackson, “My Side of the Story,” 74.\n4Ibid., 83-85.\n\nIf you have several paragraphs where you have used the same article but in many different pages, place the footnote at the end of the last paragraph and list all the page numbers in the endnote.\n                5Andrew Jackson, “My Side of the Story,” U.S. News & World Report, 5 March 1837, 45-61, 76-82.

What is the authors name???\n\nAUTHORS ON THE WEB \n\nA Collection of Biographical Sketches\n\n\nThis page is an attempt to bring together literary author biographies available on the World Wide Web. The biographies vary in quality, timeliness, length, and authority. If you don't find a biography here and know of one, please send it along. If there is no biography available, write one and send it along. It will take time for this page to become one of substance. And, in keeping with the beauty of the medium, it will continually grow and change. Credit for this page must go to Dr. Gretchen Whitney at The University of Tennessee where I was a graduate student in the School of Information Science. Dr. Whitney's "dead German" assignment gave me inspiration for this page.\n\nMore...........

How to cite Web sites, in MLA format:\nSources on the Web that students and scholars use in their research include scholarly projects, information databases, the texts of books, articles in periodicals, and personal sites. Entries in a works-cited list for such sources contain as many items from the list below as are relevant and available. Following this list are sample entries for some common kinds of Web sources.\n\n   1. Name of the author, editor, compiler, or translator of the source (if given), reversed for alphabetizing and, if appropriate, followed by an abbreviation, such as ed.\n   2. Title of an article, poem, short story, or similar short work in the Internet site (enclosed in quotation marks). Or title of a posting to a discussion list or forum (taken from the subject line and put in quotation marks), followed by the description Online posting\n   3. Title of a book (underlined [Should I use underlining or italics?])\n   4. Name of the editor, compiler, or translator of the text (if relevant and if not cited earlier), preceded by the appropriate abbreviation, such as Ed.\n   5. Publication information for any print version of the source\n   6. Title of the Internet site (e.g., scholarly project, database, online periodical, or professional or personal site (underlined [Should I use underlining or italics?]) or, for a professional or personal site with no title, a description such as Home page\n   7. Name of the editor of the site (if given)\n   8. Version number of the source (if not part of the title) or, for a journal, the volume number, issue number, or other identifying number\n   9. Date of electronic publication, of the latest update, or of posting\n  10. For a work from a subscription service, the name of the service and--if a library or a consortium of libraries is the subscriber--the name and geographic location (e.g., city, state abbreviation) of the subscriber\n  11. For a posting to a discussion list or forum, the name of the list or forum\n  12. The number range or total number of pages, paragraphs, or other sections, if they are numbered\n  13. Name of any institution or organization sponsoring the site (if not cited earlier)\n  14. Date when the researcher accessed the source\n  15. URL of the source or, if the URL is impractically long and complicated, the URL of the site's search page. Or, for a document from a subscription service, the URL of the service's home page, if known; or the keyword assigned by the service, preceded by Keyword; or the sequence of links followed, preceded by Path.

Yes, the description and author are used by search engines.  Each search engine uses this information differently, so I cannot answer specifically for each one.\n\nNice choice for web design IDE, by the way.  NVU is very cool.

Last year I had a problem like this when I was writing a research paper.  I went to go ask the librarian and she told me that in text you should cite the last night followed by the first initial of the first name. \nExample: (Jones, K.)\nOn your references page, make a separate citation for each author.

This Chapter deals only with simple and common examples on how to write Footnote and Endnote citations. To view examples, see Chapter 8. First Footnotes and Endnotes - Examples in MLA Style as well as Footnotes - Sample Page and Endnotes - Sample Page. \n\nFootnotes and Endnotes are used to give credit to sources of any material borrowed, summarized or paraphrased. They are intended to refer readers to the exact pages of the works listed in the Works Cited, References, or Bibliography section. \n\nThe main difference between Footnotes and Endnotes is that Footnotes are placed numerically at the foot of the very same page where direct references are made, while Endnotes are placed numerically at the end of the essay on a separate page entitled Endnotes or Notes.\n\nIf you are still using a typewriter, a superscript number is typed half a space above the line after the last word of the citation, e.g., "The Information Superhighway is giving way to a Commercial Superhighway."1 If you are using a word processor, you can access the superscript function. To type a Footnote citation, the same superscript number is put at the beginning of the Footnote at the bottom of the same page where the citation occurs. \n\nWhen mentioning a work for the first time, a full and complete Footnote or Endnote entry must be made.\n\nNOTE: Only one sentence is used in a Footnote or Endnote citation, i.e., only one period or full stop is used at the end of any Footnote or Endnote citation. In a Bibliography, each citation consists of a minimum of three statements or sentences, hence each entry requires a minimum of three periods, e.g., a period after the author statement, a period after the title statement, and a period after the publication statement (publication/publisher/publication date).

The Modern Language Association is perhaps the main authority for how to use citations in research.  Here's what they say: Web Sites should have author (if given), title underlined, date of publication or update (if available) originator (if available), date of access, and the URL (electronic address).\n\nThe thing that's easiest to forget is to include the date you looked at the site.  Web pages change so frequently that what you saw on a Tuesday may be gone by Thursday.

Hi. Use the author's name as well. You might refer to an outside source at some point and then you would have to go back and add the author's name to all the citations. \n\n;-D Prepare for the unexpected!
