1. The sources you used to research your paper are all gathered together in a “Bibliography” which is attached to the end of the paper.
2. Create the bibliography as you gather your sources, to help you keep track of where you found your information! This will also help you with your footnotes as you create outlines and drafts of your paper.
3. Citations in the Bibliography are alphabetized by author’s last name, or by title if there is no author, and are aligned to the left margin in the first line, with all subsequent lines indented (a hanging tab).
4. Include page range whenever possible – for example, if you used a chapter in your textbook, include those pages in the citation.
