Bibliography

How to create a Bibliography or also known as a Citation Page

A bibliography is the list of sources you have used to prepare your paper. The references in your bibliography must be written in the correct format and the bibliography itself should be included at the end of your paper.

Brief Guide

1. For each source listed, begin the first line at the margin and indent each

line that follows.

2. Follow the punctuation of the examples exactly. Use capital letters when they are needed.

Check your spelling.

3. If you cannot find some information check with the librarian.
