Finding a publication date to cite in bibliographic references for Web pages can sometimes be tricky. A copyright date may be the only date provided. Cite the most recent date that you can find displayed on the page. If it is necessary to divide the URL between two lines, break only after a slash mark and do not insert a hyphen at the break. Be sure the address that you cite works .
Some Web sites generate pages from a database.
These URLs may be lengthy and complex . Then copy and paste the URL directly into a text or word processing document. Since Web pages tend to disappear, it's always wise to save or print a copy of documents that you may cite, so that you can refer to them later and share them with your instructor if requested. Often attributes such as authorship and title are not evident. Present as much information as possible, so that a reader can locate the original.
