Locates specific books or websites and autofills the information
When you write reports, it is important for you to get your information from experts on your subject. You also must create a special page in your report that is designed to give credit to the person/people who worked hard to provide that information for you to use. This special page is called a BIBLIOGRAPHY. A Bibliography not only gives credit, but it also let's anyone reading your report where you found your information in case they want to read more.
There are different kinds of resources to use to find information. For example, you might find some of your facts in a printed book, an encyclopedia, or a website. It's a good idea to use several resources to make sure the facts you find in one resource are confirmed in another. Create a Bibliography with the following information and send it to a google doc in your Drive.
