A bibliography is an alphabetical listing
of the resources you used in your research.
Use the front and back of the title page of a book to
get the information you need for the Bibliography. The author
of
a print encyclopedia article is usually at the end of the article.
The bibliographic information is usually given at the end of your printout
from a CD-ROM encyclopedia. In a magazine use the article
itself and either the front cover or the Table of Contents to
find the information you need for the bibliography. The computers
in the library are set up to print out the http address, the title of the
item and the date it was printed in the header of the printout for Internet
items.
In using the format
below:
Remember to write the author’s name LAST name first.
Use the proper PUNCTUATION as shown in the samples.
