Parts of a Citation:
Access Date
Unlike with books, articles, and other forms of print media, Internet sites can change after they are initially published. And the content you read on a web site might not be the content that another reader will find tomorrow--or even an hour from now. Therefore, you need to include the date you actually viewed the web site as part of your proper citation.
