REF: Web Page Title for Citation

[Sandy Eichelberger <eichel@BUFFNET.NET>]

What do you recommend using as the official title of a web page when
listing it on the Works Cited Page? Do you cite whatever is at the top of
the print on the page or the title listed on the very top grey bar of the
browser? What criteria do you use for determining the exact title? There
are often different titles to choose from and the students are confused.

For example:
http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/women/

listed at the top of the browser as:
        Dept. of State - U.S. Society, Values & Polit...

overall headings:
        U.S. Department of State
        International Information Programs
        U.S. Society, Values & Politics

titles over text:
        Women in the United States
        Presidential Proclamation

Thanks for your suggestions.
Sandy
