HIEU 201
Historical Bibliography Exercise Instructions
Purpose:
· reinforce learning outcomes for competency in Information
Literacy. You will be able to:
· Determine the nature and extent of information needed for a
history research paper;
· Collect and evaluate the sources appropriate for a history

4. research paper;
· Access and use information legally and ethically, using
discipline-specific practices for citation; and
· Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose.
· introduce the process of identifying and locating sources for
historical research.
· acquaint students with search tools and databases used in
historical research.
· introduce Turabian style for source citation.
Summary: This assignment is part of the Comparison/Contrast
Essay, so for this portion, you will:
1. learn how to evaluate books and articles for research.
2. use LU Library resources to identify books and articles
appropriate for researching your topic.
3. research your chosen topic, taking notes as you go.
4. compile a Reference page using Turbian guidelines.
Grading: Consideration will be given to the quality and
relevance of sources and the correct use of assigned formatting
guidelines. See the Historical Bibliography Exercise Grading
Rubric for a breakdown of points and specific guidelines.
To complete the assignment, follow the steps below. Do not
skip steps, and do not move forward until you understand each
step and have completed it.
Step 1: Choose a Topic (Due Monday, 11:59 p.m. (ET),
Module/Week 2)
· See Comparison/Contrast Essay Instructions for a list to
choose from.
· Choosing and submitting the topic is worth 5 points and is
graded separately from the Historical Bibliography and the
Comparison/Contrast Essay.
· Topics not on the list from the Comparison/Contrast Essay

5. Instructions will not be accepted.
Step 2: Consider your sources
Review each of these 4 articles on credibility of sources. Do not
begin your research until you understand what to look for in a
printed or on-line source.
1. Evaluating the quality and credibility of a printed source:
http://librarysac.wordpress.com/research/criteria-for-evaluating-
a-print-source-of-information/
http://library.ucsc.edu/help/research/evaluate-the-quality-and-
credibility-of-your-sources
2. Evaluating books suitable for historical research:
http://lib.colostate.edu/howto/evalbk.html
3. Characteristics and Examples of Scholarly Journals:
http://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=4357
Step 3: Write your thesis statement
· Before you begin actual research, have a working thesis
statement to focus your research. For more guidelines on
writing a thesis statement, review:
http://www.bowdoin.edu/writing-guides/ -“Structuring Your
Paper” “Thesis” – section 5c. The Thesis
· You will include your thesis statement on the Historical
Bibliography Exercise for Module/Week 4 (see Example).
Step 4: Research
1. If you are not familiar with the University’s Online Library,
first take a moment to familiarize yourself with what the library
has to offer you as an online student:
http://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=12103
2. You need a total of 7 sources – 3 of which must be scholarly
journal articles (not from the same journal). Do not use your
textbook as a source.
Books: May use either ebooks or traditional.
1. Use LUCAS (https://lucas.liberty.edu/vwebv/searchBasic) to

6. find books available in our library. This includes a variety of
ebooks that you can read online.
2. Use WorldCat (http://www.worldcat.org/) to find out if books
are available in your public library.
3. Be careful that you do not choose books written for children,
history textbooks, or popular histories. Go back to #s 1 and 2 in
Step 2 if you need to refresh your memory on credible sources.
4. Britannica Academic Edition—essentially an encyclopedia,
but with links to dictionaries and websites. Be sure to correctly
identify and cite the specific source used. The encyclopedia will
not be the source – you will want to look at the citations in the
article to find the specific source to cite.
5. Gale Virtual Reference Library—a collection of reference
works. Look for titles that include the word encyclopedia or
dictionary. If you use this database, remember to cite the
specific reference work (ebook) used. Your citation will not be
Gale Virtual Reference Library.
6. Oxford English Dictionary—an exhaustive dictionary of the
English language.
7. Oxford Reference Online Premium—an extensive collection
of reference works. Look for titles that include the word
encyclopedia or dictionary. If you use this database, remember
to cite the specific reference work (ebook) used.
Scholarly Journals:
1. Use the following link to find history related journals at the
library. http://libguides.liberty.edu/content.php?pid=235478
2. Make sure that you read the article before deciding whether it
will be useful.
3. Make sure that you are not looking at a newspaper article, but
are looking at an article in a scholarly journal. To refresh your
memory, review #3 in step 2.
4. Do NOT use articles from the following journals. They are
NOT considered scholarly journals.
a. Military History

7. b. History Today
c. History Review
5. Some places to start:
a. JSTOR
b. The Digital Library of Classic Protestant Texts
c. Gale Biography in Context
d. Iter: Gateway to the Middle Ages and Renaissance
6. If you have any questions, feel free to email your professor
with specific details, and ask about using the source.
7. Do not just copy and paste the weblink from the address bar.
Get the correct link for citations by finding the “Stable URL” or
“permanent link” in the article.
8. Many of the articles through the Library include citation
information (generally a button at the top of the article). You
may use that, but make sure that you choose Turabian style
before copying and pasting it into your bibliography.
Other Sources:
1. Dissertations:
http://libguides.liberty.edu/content.php?pid=229367&sid=19564
60
** As you compile sources, begin taking notes for the
Comparison/Contrast Essay. Make sure that you understand how
to properly take notes at this stage so that you save time and
trouble later when you are writing the paper. (See CCE
Instructions Step 2: Research for further guidelines on
plagiarism and note-taking.)
Step 5: Write the Bibliography
1. Click on the link below for a full length Turabian style guide:
http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/turabian/turabian_citation
guide.html
2. The following presentations on the LUO Writing Center
website are also useful in checking your formatting against

8. Turabian guidelines.
http://www.liberty.edu/academics/graduate/writing/index.cfm?P
ID=12268
a. “Microsoft Word” – good tips on how to format page
numbers, margins, double-space text, etc.
b. “Turabian Presentation Revised” 8th edition
c. Check out the Video Lectures for a Turabian run through.
3. In addition to the LUO Writing Center and full length
Turabian guide, there are several other documents in the
Writing Tips and Guides folder of your course (Course
Content/Course Guides and Assignment Instructions/Additional
Material) with specific Turabian help.
4. Take a moment to look at the Historical Bibliography
Example and make sure that your paper follows the same format
for page numbers, heading, margins, etc.
5. Note that submission of this assignment does require a
heading and a thesis statement, but when you include the
bibliography in the Comparison/Contrast Essay for
Module/Week 6, corrections and changes need to be made, and
the additional information needs to be deleted.
Before Submission:
· Proofread your bibliography for errors, and make last minute
corrections.
· Never submit the very first draft of any paper or project,
always give enough time to review and revise.
Submission:
· Submit your document through the assignment link in
Blackboard before the deadline.
· Do not type your paper into the comment box.
“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the
glory of God.” I Cor. 10:31 (NKJV)
This assignment is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of
