BIBLIOGRAPHY |
| Often, when you prepare a report, you are required to list the materials you have used. This list of materials can be called a bibliography or a works cited page. For each item on the list, you put the author first and then the title of the article, book and/or computer source. These are arranged in alphabetical order. The second line of each entry is indented. Below is a description of what should be included in a bibliographic entry and an example of how each item should look. |
