Electronic & Web Resources

Creating the reference for electronic and web resources basically require two parts:

  • reference information in the format just like its print version; and then add
  • the retrieval statement, following this pattern:
    Retrieved Month, day, year, from electronic address

Note: Punctuation is NOT required after the URL or electronic address as this may be mistaken to be part of the address.
