Box 1Determining the author if there is no standard title page
Some books on the Internet do not display a traditional title page that
clearly states the names of the authors. When there is no title
page:
Look at the top, bottom, or sidebar of the first screen or
the bottom of the last screen of the book
Do not assume that an individual named as Web master or
contact person is the author; he or she most probably is
not, especially for sites produced by large
organizations
Some sites give a name in association with a copyright
statement, such as "copyright 1997 by John A. Smith". Do not
assume that this individual is the author, either.
If the only personal name given in a site is associated with
a copyright statement, use that individual's name as the
publisher
Many sites will display an organization's name rather than a
person's name. In such cases when the organization appears
to be serving as both author and publisher, place the
organization in the publisher position.
