Bibliography cards act as file cards for notes and must contain a correctly formatted works cited entry. They should not include any notes and should be completed in pencil before taking notes. A sample book bibliography card includes the author, title, publisher, date and format. A sample magazine card lists the author, title, publication details, database and access date.
