Bibliography Information

Next due date: 5 Sources in your Bibliography- Wednesday, March 5th

What is a bibliography?

A bibliography is a place at the end of your paper where you list the sources you have used for your paper.  This is to show that 1) you have done research on your topic, 2) respectfully acknowledges that other people have helped you create your paper, and 3) give your reader a place to get more information if they would like to read about something further.  

What is due on Wednesday? 
A typed bibliography of five sources is due.  Sources must be formatted in Turabian Style and be listed in alphabetical order.  At least two of these sources must be a book (Googlebooks are okay). Printed out.

How should I write my bibliography?
1) Find your sources. Keep track of your sources by emailing yourself sites you are using, printing them out, or creating a GoogleDoc that you use to keep track of them. If you are using a book, check it out of the library (or make copies if it is a small section of the book).
2) Use either the Turabian Style Guide or Bibme.org to enter in the required information about your source.

What if I can't find the required information? (author, publisher, etc)
If the source you are attempting to use does not list an author etc. it probably is not a very good source. 

How do I format my bibliography page? 
1) Alphabetical Order 
2) Your bibliography is NOT a list of links that you used. You will receive no credit for this.
2) Use THIS youtube documentary made by John in the HelpDesk to correctly indent your bibliography.
3) Bibliographies are a crucial part in writing and will never go away. For a template/example, HERE is a bibliography for a paper I wrote over the summer.
