Answer 1

Select:
- the source title — yes
- the author — yes
- the web address — yes
- important points — yes
- copied pages — no (don’t paste whole pages into notes; instead paraphrase or quote small excerpts and record page/paragraph numbers and full citation)

Tip: also record the date accessed and any page numbers or location info for quotes so you can cite sources later.
