If you have more than one resource by the same author, arrange the items in chronological order beginning with the earliest publication.
If an author is listed as a single author and then also listed as the first author on another work with multiple authors, list the single authorship entries first.
Entries with the same first author but different subsequent authors are arranged alphabetically by the last name of the first different author.
If you can’t find a publication date, use the abbreviation “n.d.” in the place of the date.
Example: Karayannakos, E. (n.d.). Retrieved 20 Nov 2012, 2012, from http://www.greektheatre.gr/
If you can not find the last date a web page is updated on you can still figure it out by entering the following text in the URL address bar:
javascript:alert(document.lastModified). (You may need to manual type javascript: if you paste the text into the address bar.)
This will bring up a pop-up box showing the last date the web page was updated on.
NOTE: Some sites update everyday. This may not be an indicator of when new content was added to the site.
