made in referencing a personal e-mail message where an individual's e-mailaddress is omitted for privacy reasons.

Skip any information that you cannot find anywhere on the Web page or in the

Web site, and carry on, e.g. if your Internet reference has no author stated,

leave out the author and begin your citation with the title. Always put youraccess date just before the URL which is placed between "less than" and"greater than" signs at the end of the citation. Generally, a minimum of three

items are required for an Internet citation: Title, Access Date, and URL.

If the URL is too long for a line, divide the URL where it creates the least

ambiguity and confusion, e.g. do not divide a domain name and end with a

period such as geocities. Do not divide a term in the URL that is made up of

combined words e.g. SchoolHouseRock. Never add a hyphen at the end of theline to indicate syllabical word division unless the hyphen is actually found in

the original URL. Copy capital letters exactly as they appear, do not change

them to lower case letters as they may be case sensitive and be treateddifferently by some browsers. Remember that the purpose of indicating the

URL is for readers to be able to access the Web page. Accuracy and clarity are

essential.
