About Web Page Publication Dates

Look at the top and bottom of the web page for a publication date.

Beware of the copyright or last updated date in the footer of the web page. This is often a site-wide footer, and not related to the publication date of the page.

If no date is clear on the web page, enter (n.d.) in place of the publication year.
