BIBLIOGRAPHY GUIDE

Bibliographies are important. They show others where you found your information. If someone wants to get more information on your topic they need to know where to go.

Bibliographies are always listed in Alphabetical Order!!!

Generally, an entry in your bibliography contains 3 main items - author, title and publication information (company name, where and when).

Each is followed by a period and two spaces. You need to have each entry in your bibliography separated by two lines.
