Web and email addresses
When including web addresses (URLs) in-text:
Print materials
- all web addresses: don’t include ‘http://’: eg
www.abcd.com NOT
http://www.abcd.com;
www.atn.edu.au NOT http://www.atn.edu.au
unisa web addresses: as
long as it is clear from the text that a website address follows, you
can also leave off the www, and write simply unisa.edu.au
(plus any extensions). This is handy in advertising materials where
space is an issue (note that this does NOT work for unisanet
addresses). If in doubt, try the URL you want to use in the web first
- don’t place a full stop at the end of the address, even when it ends
a sentence
- be aware that the forward slash (/) is not required at the end of a
web address
- ensure they break across lines in a logical place: eg www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/
learningconnection NOT www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/learningco
nnection/student/prepare
- introduce them consistently: eg For more information visit
www.abcd.com
- don’t use capitals in email or web addresses: eg karen.smith@abc.com.au and
www.abcd.com
- don't capitalise the words 'website' or 'webpage' unless
they begin a sentence
