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 the APA style.
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 referencing tool CiteThisForMe.
