Attribution Without a date on a Web page, users find it difficult to determine the accuracy and currency of the content. Without a complete and proper signature, users find it difficult to identify the owner, and therefore cannot communicate with the owner to make an inquiry, report a problem, or send a suggestion. On all new and revised pages, we have added a standard signature similar to the one below. 27 August 1998 Networked Information Services Office of Information Technology Boston University Questions This standard signature contains: The date the page was last updated. The name of the department that authored the page. A link back to the BU home page. A link to a form so users can easily communicate with the owner.
