Some sources have editors instead of authors. Web page authors are often listed on the “contact us” or “home page”.

Resource cards: special instructions for publisher information Printed materials require a publisher. electronic or digital sources will have a publisher if they were originally published in a printed format. Web-pages will not list a publisher, but they should list the organization responsible for putting the information on the web.

Resource cards: special instructions for date of publication information For books and encyclopedias look for the copyright date on the back of the title page.
