This document discusses how to create a bibliography. A bibliography lists the sources that were used for a research paper and allows others to see where the information came from. Entries in the bibliography should be alphabetized by author's last name and include publication details separated by periods. Entire books, chapters, or articles referenced should be included, with the first line of each entry on the left margin and subsequent lines indented. The bibliography provides attribution for ideas and facts that were not one's own work.

Creating Bibliography
If you need to write a research paper, chances are you'll also
be required to include a bibliography. Or you might be asked
to include a works cited page or a list of references. These are
all just different names for the same thing: a list of sources—
such as books, articles, or even websites—that you used to
research and write your paper. A bibliography makes it easy
for someone else to see where you found your information.

the surname of the authors.
Use periods to separate the publication
details.
List entire books or a complete chapter or
article you referred to.
Use the hanging indention in listing your
entries. (The first line of an entry begins on
the left margin and all the other lines are
