Subject: Bibliographies

 

Title: How To Write A Bibliography: A Bialik High School Guide.

 

Definition: A bibliography is an alphabetical list of all the sources you have consulted for an essay or research paper. You must list your sources in a specific format. Use this guide to create your bibliography in the correct format.

 

Remember:

 

Always underline the title of the work cited.

Alphabetize by the author’s last name.

If there is no author, alphabetize by title.

Always indent the second or third lines (5 spaces).

Always leave 1 space after commas and 2 spaces after periods and colons.

 

Example:

 

 

For a book with one author:

Robinson, Adam. What Smart Students Know. New York: Crown Paperbacks, 1993.

 

For a book with two authors:

Sorensen, Sharon, and Bob LeBreck. The Research Paper. New York: Amsco Publications, 1994.

 

For a book with no author:

The World of Learning. London: Europa Publications, 1995.

Try to find as much information as possible about an Internet document in order to determine whether it is accurate or not. It is especially important to try to find out about the author of an Internet document, whether a person, organization or institution.
