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
*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.
