How do you find out the author  and when an article has been published in an online library?

I'm assuming you are simply looking for citation information.  Try Google Scholar to search for the article online at http://scholar.google.com/\n\nWhen you locate the article in the results list, click on it.  The citation information (author, title, date, journal, etc.) are usually found on the first screen.\n\nIf this doesn't help, post more detailed info and I'll try to steer you in the right direction.

Author.  "Title of Article." Title of site (underlined).  Date last modified.  Date visited.  <Url> (in brackets).  \n\nIF you are missing any of this information, then you just skip it and go on to the next part.

What is the author's name?\n\nIf he/she is famous, they should have their own homepage, which mean you should be able to get their biography there. \n\nOr do a search, typing 'biography,' and 'author's name.'\n\nLet me know if you want me to help :)

see if you can access Proquest or Ebscohost - they offer professional journals.  Your library might subscribe to these services - log in to your library and see what's offered as far as on-line research

Usually near the bottom of the article there is a bibliography or works cited section. This will list the author(s) or another article where informaiton was taken from. For example, the area below this post that shows "Source(s)".

I always put the name of the site, the link, and the date it was created/last updated (in that order).  If the author's name is there, I will add that as well.  I haven't had an issue yet.

I was going to suggest purchasing a book called Writers Market that lists publications- what they look to publish and how to get them published. I noticed though, that they do have a website as well: www.writersmarket.com.  I have used the book several times and because there is so much information it is not always user-friendly, but it will get the job done for you.....
