Citing Permissions on a Web Site
Once you have obtained permission to use material created by someone else on your Web site, you will need to credit the author next to the material and cite the permission on your Web site's Works Cited/Permissions page. Be sure to keep a copy of the permission for your records.
Crediting the Author: Underneath or next to the material, credit the author and provide a link to the source if appropriate. For example:

- Address of the Web site where you found the material.
