-some important notes about doing your reference/citation….order matters.  With a book (eg.  Text book) you state the author first with first name first then last name. 

1. Michael Pollan, The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals (New York: Penguin, 2006), 99–100.

If you use the same book for a second or third quote:
2. Pollan, Omnivore’s Dilemma, 3.

For a website:
1. Firstname Lastname, “Title of Web Page,” Publishing Organization or Name of Website in Italics, publication date and/or access date if available, URL.

If you use the website more than once:
Lastname, "Shortened title."

Versus bibliography:

Lastname, Firstname. “Title of Web Page.”     Publishing
     Organization or Name of Website in Italics. 
     Publication date and/or access date if available.  URL

*if no author for website, start with the title.


*remember that access date is really important esp.  if website changes.


If you use a website for a second time.  Provide the name of website in quotes.
