[CALIBK12] citing online sources - for Sarah Bosler

[Jane Selkye]

I feel like I know the answer to this question but something tells me I
might be off.

 

A student would like to cite a jpg of a government document they found
online. I was under the impression that she would be citing the actual
webpage not the actual document. i.e. author would be author/organization
publishing the site and title would be title of webpage.

 

Hi Sarah,

I think this below will help.  It's from this site:
