DOCUMENTING SOURCES

Bibliography

A bibliography is a complete list, alphabetized by author's last name, or title if no author is name, of every source you have used in your research. Even if you do not quote directly from a book you have consulted, it should be included in the bibliography if you feel it has in some way contributed to your knowledge of the topic.
