refrencing website in bib file

Post by ma501th »

hi, everytime i compile the bib file i get an error, this is the bib file contents

Code: Select all

@misc{ kidsvids ,
	title = {Kids Vids},
	note = {{\tt http://kidsvid.altec.org}; Last accessed: 09/10/2007},
	year = {2007}
	}

@misc{ kidsspace,
	title = { KidsSpace Toronto Public Library Home},
	note = {{\tt http://www.kidsspace.torontopubliclibrary.ca/story.html}; Last accessed: 12/10/107},
	year = {2007}
	}
the compiler keeps asking for or author or a key for these.
These website dont really have an author but what is a key?

Hi,

why not just add a key for sorting:

Code: Select all

@misc{ kidsvids ,
   key = {kidsvids},
   title = {Kids Vids},
   note = {{\tt http://kidsvid.altec.org}; Last accessed: 09/10/2007},
   year = {2007}
   }

I would also suggest to include the URL in the \url command and load either the url or the hyperref package:

Code: Select all

@misc{ kidsvids ,
   key = {kidsvids},
   title = {Kids Vids},
   note = {\url{http://kidsvid.altec.org}; Last accessed: 09/10/2007},
   year = {2007}
   }
In any case, don't use the obsolete command \tt; at least replace it by \ttfamily or write something like \texttt{th corresponding text here}
