I would say that you need to include each paper you reference not just the website from whence they came. If you use a lot of chapters from one book (say a compendium of essays etc) you could just reference the book but it would be more prudent to reference each book section so it does not look like hte same reference over and over again. I would say the same applies to referencing the papers from the website.
