BIBLIOGRAPHY GUIDE
A bibliography is a list of all sources used
in writing a research paper. If the
entries are from several different reference sources, the entries may be listed
under their particular reference. Under
each reference, the entries need to be in alphabetical order by the author’s
last name. If there is no author, the
entries are in order by the titlel. The bibliography is found at the beginning
of the page, (centered) and each letter is capitalized.
The following is a sample entry:
