The document provides instructions for creating a reference sheet using APA style. It states that all sources used in an essay must be included on the reference sheet, and these should be listed alphabetically by the author's last name. Specific formatting rules are outlined, such as leaving the first line of each reference flush left and indenting subsequent lines. Sources should be double spaced with a hanging indent. The document emphasizes that sources must be properly cited to avoid plagiarism.

APA Style Guide

2. How to create a Reference Sheet.
 Why do we need to learn to do any
type of bibliography sheet?
 You need to let the reader know
where the information came from in a
paper, because often the information
your are using is not your own.
 If you do not do this it is called
plagiarism and the penalty can be
extreme.

3. How to create a Reference Sheet.
Every single one of the
sources that you
paraphrase or directly
quote in your essay
should go on the
Reference sheet.

4. How to create a Reference
Sheet.
 You SHOULD be looking at more sources
than you quoted from to give your
sources credibility. The idea is that you
use a source but get others sources to
make sure it is accurate.

5. How to create a Reference
Sheet.
 There are some simple rules to follow no
matter which APA sheet you are handing
in.
ALWAYS list your sources alphabetically
by authors LAST name. If there is no
author then you use the first FULL word of
the article title; note A, AN, AND, OF and
THE do not count.

Example:
Boogey, Tony.(Sept. 16, 2010) Halloween Horrors In Movie
Reviews. Retrieved October 2008 from http://www.mrqe.com
A Driving Law Changes. (July 16, 2010) The Hamilton
Spectator. pp.A6.
Note the B comes before D (and we ignore the A in the
second title).

Retrieved October 2008 from http://www.mrqe.com
A Driving Law Changes. (July 16, 2010) The Hamilton Spectator. pp. A6.
Also note that the first line is all the way to the margin, whereas the rest of
the lines for the same source are tabbed over once. That makes it easier
for the reader to distinguish where one source finishes and the next one
starts.

Reviews. Retrieved October 2008 from http://www.mrqe.com

pp.A6.
And finally note – each line needs to be
double spaced – not just between
sources but within sources themselves.

9. How to create a Reference Sheet.
 EVERY single source has a little different
way of writing up the information – PAY
ATTENTION to the booklet you have been
given as it shows EXACTLY how each
source is to be used!
 If all else fails – ASK THE LIBRARIAN! That
is what we are here for.

 And remember:
No matter what you do –
quoting and paraphrasing
TOO much is always better
than not doing it enough.
