What is a bibliography?

• When you write a research report, you will use
  many different sources to get your information.
  You may find information in newspapers,
  magazines, and encyclopedias, as well as using
  the internet.
• You must always give credit to those authors
  whose work you include in your paper. You can do
  this through the use of footnotes, and a
  BIBLIOGRAPHY page which is placed at the end of
  your report.

• There are several different ways of formatting
  bibliography entries, but the examples in the
  following pages are typical of the most common
  styles.
• Notice that the lines below the top line are
  indented. This is done to make it easier to
  identify each entry, as well as putting the
  entries in alphabetical order.

• When you are required to write a research
  paper, ask the teacher if he/she has a preferred
  format for bibliography entries. If the answer is
  yes, you should ask for examples of the required
  format.
• Otherwise, the following examples should be
  followed
