WEB CITATIONS Online Encyclopedias For online encyclopedias, use the same format as for encyclopedias that are in print. Then add the URL. Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. S.v. “Socrates.” Available online at Encyclopaedia Britannica Online, Academic Edition (2007).

Available online Classic Encyclopedia Based on the 11th Edition of the Encyclopedia
Britannica (1911). Websites of Professors located on College or University Web Servers Prof. Linder has an extensive Web site located at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law. Below are three links to three of his pages. The second link is a narrative written by Prof. Linder hence his name appears as the author. The first link provides an introduction and connects to the second. The third link lists all the trials covered by the author. Note that I handled each link slightly differently. But they all identify the University which hosts these pages. “Famous Trials: The Trial of Socrates: 399 B. C.” Available online from
University of Douglas Linder, “The Trial of Socrates.” (c) 2002 Available online from
University of “Famous Trials by Douglas O. Linder (2008) UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-KANSAS CITY
(UMKC) SCHOOL OF LAW” "The Ancient History Sourcebook" is another huge site hosted by Fordham University. Prof. Halsall edits this site which contains entire articles and books. The article on “Pericles” is taken from the Encyclopedia Brittanica, 11th Ed. (1911). This is indicated by the title of this Web page. “Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Pericles” Available online from
Fordham University: This link took me about an hour to unravel so that it is in the current form. The link: “newton.cam.ac.uk” stands for the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom. It is a legitimate academic institute associated with a great university. It does research into various mathematical questions. Newton was a mathematician. The article on the biography of Isaac Newton was actually taken from Microsoft’s Encarta encyclopedia. This is clearly acknowledged on the Web page of the Institute. “Isaac Newton's Life,” Isaac Newton Institute for
Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge University. My own Website, the one you are looking at, is hosted by Union County College. It is part of the College's Faculty Pages. My pages are essentially geared to my students and to the courses that I teach. I teach History and Government courses in the Economics, Government, and History Department. Hence the "egh" before my name in the URL. Note the long chain of nested links to get to the Greeks. For purposes of our class exercise, the annotated bibliography, I want you to trace the trail from the Home page to the page you are using. Harold Damerow, "Greeks."
Available online from Union County College> Faculty Pages> Harold Damerow> Websites by Religious Colleges and Associated Institutes. I know nothing about the Atlantic Baptist University which is located in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada. David and Jane Graves run a Web site called Electronic Christian Media. Its institutional connection to ABU is unclear. But ECM provides mainly religious information. Its Web page on the “Code of Hammurabi” is placed in a broader Christian framework and the code is compared, unfavorably, to the laws of Moses. One must always be aware of and guard against the bias of Web sites. “Code of Hammurabi” Available online from Baptist Christian University, New
Brunswick, Canada: Websites of Professors who have their own Commercial Web Sites Prof. Garth Kemerling has a Ph.D in Philosophy from the University of Iowa (1974) according to his vita page (http://www.philosophypages.com/vita.htm). He has now branched out beyond academia to create the Philosophy Pages for a broader audience. Like writing a book, writing and maintaining a Web site is both intellectually rewarding and may provide a small income. If a site becomes truly popular, it may even be bought by some big commercial outfit and make a lot of money. “Socrates: A Philosophical Life.” Philosophy Pages. Available online from
Garth Kemerling’s Philosophypages at: “Socrates (469-399
B.C.E.).” Philosophy Pages. Available online from Garth Kemerling’s
Philosophypages at: Big Giant Commercial Web Sites. Selling information is a big, profitable business. Newspapers, radio station, television networks, publishing houses, in short, the media sell information. They provide news, information, and entertainment. But they also make money. There is money to be made on the World Wide Web, not only by subscribing to services but also through advertising. Many Web sites sell products but they may also have general information on their sites. Travel agencies provide information about the places that tourists like to visit: Athens, Rome, Jerusalem, etc. When you use a search engine, like Google, there is no distinction between sites that carry information about Socrates or Hammurabi. All sites will be displayed. You, the student, have to figure out whose site you are visiting. The British Broadcasting Corporation is a major source of information and very reputable. Anthony Claydon, “William III: 4. Crusade against Louis.”
British Broadcasting Company (BBC). Available online from Britannia.com is an US based company that is both a travel agency and a source of information about Britain. They are somewhat ambiguous about who they are on their frequently asked questions page (http://britannia.com/faq.html). On the Web, caveat emptor—the buyer beware. ”William III and Mary II (1689-1702 AD).” Britannia.org.
Available online from Britannia.org I will continue to add links. But note that each Web citation poses its own challenge. I strongly recommend that you take another look at the page entitled Six Rules for Web Citations.
