What is a bibliography?

A bibliography is different from referencing! A bibliography is a list of books, scholarly articles, and other sources you use when researching a topic and writing a paper. The bibliography will appear at the end of your paper.

The bibliography is sometimes called Works Cited or Works Consulted.

Bibliography entries must be written in a very specific format, but that format will depend you the particular style of writing you use. Your teacher will tell you which style to use, and for most school papers these will be either MLA, APA, or Turabian style.

Bibliography entries will include:

• Author

• Title of your source

• Publication information

• Date

Your entries should be listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the author. If you are using two publications that are written by the same author, the order and format will depend on the style of writing.
