Question: How do I reference this website if I am using information it has provided?
Answer:

It is great that you are planning to include the Community Tool Box in your reference list. Others have also asked this question. Here is what we recommend:
 
      * If the writer is citing the Tool Box as an entire document, the reference form would simply be: 
 
                      Community Tool Box  (n.d).  http://ctb.ku.edu.
 
                           [n.d] because there is no single publication date for the Tool Box as a whole. 
 
 
     *  Perhaps more commonly, if the writer is citing a particular section or chapter in the Tool Box, the reference form would contain these elements, in order:
 
                Name of Contributor(s) 
[n.d.]  
Title of section or chapter 
Retrieved from [give URL of section or chapter]
                on  {retrieval date] 
 
 
               The name of the Contributor(s) can be found at the end of the relevant section. (n.d.) is used since the sections are not individually dated.  The section or chapter title should be as given on the web site.  The URL can be pasted in the reference citation from the way it appears in one's web browser.
