Bibliography
Format
A
bibliography is a list of all the sources (books, magazine articles, interviews,
Internet sites, etc.) used in your research.
A bibliography serves two purposes:
it gives the reader the opportunity to evaluate the quality of the
sources and it enables the reader to investigate the subject further.
When creating a bibliography, please follow the guidelines and samples
listed below.
An
example is at the end.
·
Sources
are alphabetized by the first word of the entries. They are not numbered.
·
The first
line of each entry is in a straight line down the page; the second, third,
fourth, etc. lines are indented five spaces and kept in a straight line.
·
Follow
the order and punctuation below for each of the different kinds of sources.
·
Titles
are underlined if hand written or printed in italics or bold if using a computer.
