A bibliography is a list of
resources that are used to complete an informational project.
The list may be placed at the end of a paper, web page, PowerPoint
presentation or it may accompany a display. A bibliography is
useful in these ways:
- It gives the authors of the resources
used in creating the project credit for their work.
- The list lets teachers know where the
information was found.
- A bibliography tells the person viewing
the project where more information can be found on a particular
topic.
There are different formats students are asked to use when completing
a bibliography. It is very important to follow the format you
are given by your school or teacher.
***Important. If you need
to use a second line, always indent the second line five spaces,
like a paragraph (website makes it difficult to show this below)
