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. Another word for bibliography is referencing. There are different styles for referencing - at DHS we use different styles depending on the department but if you are not sure use APA.
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.
The easiest way to create a bibliography is to use the free, fast referencing tool MyBib. MyBib uses a chrome extension which you can pin on your toolbar. To do this click on the add-extensions symbol - the jigsaw symbol you can see below, select MyBib and pin it. Then the mybib app will appear on your toolbar. You then click on this and then 'create free account' and use your school email to do this. You wait a few seconds and it will then log you in automatically - no password required:)
