Cite Those Sources!



 

Preparing a Bibliography

    Whenever you gather information to write a research paper or write a report, it is important for you to give credit for the source of your information.  You should list these sources in the part of your paper called a bibliography.  A bibliography is often the last page of your report.  The following examples show you how to give credit correctly for your sources in your bibliography.  Check with your teacher to find out the teacher's requirements for citing your sources.  If you need help or have questions about citing your sources, Mrs. Cochran will be glad to help you!
