Bibliography Guidelines
What is a bibliography?
A bibliography is a list of the books, periodical articles, resources from the internet and other materials of a specific author or publisher
Why do I need a bibliography?
A bibliography helps you know where you got your information from and it lets your teacher know you are giving proper credit for your sources of information.
What do I include in a bibliography?
You should list every source you use such as a book, a movie, a website, an interview or any information that did not come from you. The bibliography goes at the end of your assignment.
You can use the google docs EASYBIB bibliography to record your sources as you find them. Simply click on add-ons and then add your websites and books as you use them.
