The Bibliography
The Bibliography
A bibliography is a list of all of the sources you have used (whether referenced or not) in the process of researching your work.
An annotated bibliography is the same as a bibliography with one important difference: in an annotated bibliography, the bibliographic information is followed by a brief description of the content, quality, and usefulness of the source.
A Works Cited or References list is only comprised of references to those items actually cited in the paper.
You should have a bibliography at the end of all research papers. Ask your teacher if they would like you to make 'Bibliography' or 'Works Cited' .
As you are doing research, you should keep track of the following information.
Each entry in the bibliography is made up of core elements given in a specific order.
The core elements should be listed in the order in which they appear here. Each element is followed by the punctuation mark shown here.
Depending on whether you use a printer source or a web source, you will need to collect different information.
Your Bibliography/Works Cited List should generally follow the format below.
Begin the entry with the author’s last name, followed by a comma and the rest of the name, as presented in the work. End this element with a period.
