For her assignment, Becky used the Internet to research her subject matter. She therefore needs to provide details of her sources of information. Doing this raises the quality of her work. It also proves that she has looked for the opinions of experts in the field. To reference a website properly, you will need the following details about the website: Author:
This is the name of the person who wrote the piece.
Look carefully on the webpage for this information. If you can't see it, try looking at the source code. You can do this by clicking on View and then Source in your browser menu. Author's details aren't always included. Date the piece was written:
You may have to search for this. It is not always included, but use the methods mentioned under Author. You may find something that says "Last Updated 10/6/03", or something similar. Date you looked at the website/ URL
You can find this information by looking at your clock or at the address bar on the top of your browser. This paragraph shows how Becky referenced the authors within her text: King (1999) also suggested that the facilities would need to be adequate to encourage repeat users. Browning (2003) states that it is very important that you talk to your customers, preferably before something goes wrong. Market research highlighted several concerns of potential customers including parking, safety and facilities. The health club will need adequate parking and space for the facilities. King (1999) believes that 20-25 square feet will be needed per user and that 20-30% of the active membership of the health club will be there are nay one time. This has major pricing implications, as the membership will fall if the price is too expensive, but the number of people required to cover all the potential costs may require a huge space in the location. The room would need to be about 2,000 square feet which would allow for about fourteen pieces of cardiovascular equipment and a similar number of pieces of strength equipment. It should also allow for mats and dumb bell exercises to take place. In all, the centre would accommodate about forty people working out at one time. Assuming the average duration of a visit is two hours, this will allow 240 people to visit each day if the centre is open for twelve hours per day. If a booking system was introduced which stopped people from just turning up, it is possible that this could be implemented and do something to alleviate peak times. In all, the centre could have 1,200 members. Having mentioned the authors in the text, Becky included them in her bibliography. Go on to find out how Becky compiled this information.
