• You do not need to list websites in your bibliography unless they are critical to your argument and/or frequently cited.
• You may not be able to find complete citation information for every website.
• Try to include as much of the following as you can:
  • Author(s)
  • Title of the page (in quotes)
  • Title or owner of the site
  • Access date
  • The date the site was last modified
  • URL

• Blog posts are cited similarly to articles in magazines and newspapers.
• If the title makes it clear that it is a blog, do not include (blog). For example: The Collaborative Piano Blog
• Include blog posts in your bibliography only if it is critical to your argument.
• If you cite several specific posts in your notes, you may cite the blog as a whole in your bibliography.

E-mail and text messages may be cited in running text ("In a text message to the author on July 21, 2012, John Doe revealed . . .") instead of in a note, and they are rarely listed in a bibliography. The following example shows the more formal version of a note.*

Ex: John Doe, e-mail message to author, July 21, 2012. *If you decide that you want to include a citation for an E-mail or Text Message please let me know and we can format it together!

• Items shared on social media tend to disappear; always keep a screenshot of whatever you cite in case you need to refer to it later.
• Social Media content is usually cited in the text or notes, only include it in the bibliography if it is critical to your argument.
