Bibliography Tips
The bibliography goes on a separate page at the end of your report.
The sources listed in the bibliography are listed in alphabetical order.
Do not list Google (or Google images) as a source. Google is NOT an information source. Google is a search engine used to find the information. Back in the olden days of research, students used a Card Catalogues to look for books on their topics. Listing Google as a source is like listing the Card Catalogue! So, to keep it simple, do not put no Google, Yahoo, bing, or any other search engine in your bibliography!
