Bibliography

Whenever we research it's important to cite our sources. Giving credit to the authors and researchers that came before us is not only a nice thing to do, but legally, it's the right thing to do.

Here are some of the resources we discussed in class that can help you to make your bibliography for not just your explorer project, but for your research/information writing as well. :)

How to…Make a Bibliography

Adapted from: http://library.barrie.ca/children/homework/bibliography.htm

*Alphabetize by author’s last name.

*If no author, go by the first main word of the title.

*In bold is the type of resource; beneath that is how you would organize your bibliography info. 

*For most types of resources you'll include a title, author, publisher (who printed it), and date it was released. For websites you'll include the date you found the information online.
