Use the link above for a screencast that will walk you through creating your citations and your Works Cited page with the citation tool in Google Docs.
The screenshot on the left shows the fields for citing a website.
Contributor (author) - The may not be auto-filled. You will have to check the website for the name of an author. If an author is not listed, you can leave this blank.
Title vs. Website title - The website title is the overall website you are using , usually listed in the upper left corner. The title is the specific page you are on. For example, I used the Biography.com website, but I was on the Bill Clinton page.
Title - This must be filled in (most likely auto-filled). It is the name of the specific page you are on.
Website title -This must be filled in (most likely auto-filled). It is the name of the overall site you are on.
The screenshot on the left shows the remaining fields when citing a website.
Publisher - You only need to fill this in if it's different from the website. To find that out, go to the very bottom of the page and look for the copyright symbol ©. Whatever name is next to that is most likely the publisher. If you can't find a copyright symbol and it simply says the same name as the website, then leave this field blank.
Published day, month and year - This also may not auto-fill, so you will need to check if there is a published date. If not, this can be left blank. If there is a date, be sure to spell out the month, do not write the number (November instead of 11).
Accessed day, month and year - this will auto-fill with the date you are creating the citation. If you know the original date you accessed it, you can use that, but otherwise, leave today's date.
