Some students asked about citing materials on websites, and there are a number of correct answers.  One good resource is the following website:  http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/online/citex.html 
For our purposes, you can follow their suggested citation which will give me the standard information such as author, title, followed by the URL.  All of that can be placed in parentheses where appropriate.
