A bibliography is a list of all sources used in an assignment, organized alphabetically by author's last name. If no author is listed, sources are organized alphabetically by title. The bibliography includes full details of books, book chapters, journal articles, newspaper articles, encyclopedia articles, audiovisual materials, webpages, and personal communications. Personal communications are not included in the bibliography but referenced in-text. The document provides examples of how to format different source types in a bibliography using APA referencing style.

2. What is a Bibliography?? A Bibliography is a list of all material used in the preparation of your assignment. It is usually in alphabetical order of author's surname. If a resource has no author, list it in alphabetical order by the first 3 letters of the title, ignoring the words A, and The at the beginning of a title.

3. Hints:Remember to write down the bibliographic details of a resource as you use it. Don't wait until the end of the assignment, when you have returned some of the resources, and think 'which book did I use? Where is it?'
