I don't get the "Retrieved part"?

Question

Author. (Year, month day). Title of article (no quotation marks). Magazine Name,

Volume(issue), page numbers. Retrieval date. Electronic address

So, my bibliography for the text version would look something like:

Jost, K. (2001, November 16). Rethinking the death penalty. The CQ researcher,

11(21), 945-968. Retrieved December 15, 2001, from

http://library.cqpress.com

Answer 1

I think the point is that the content of web pages changes so quickly that it doesn't mean much to give the electronic address (URL) without the date on which it contained the content you cited.

So "retrieval date" applies to the "electronic address" that follows it in your bibliography entry.
