A bibliography is a list of resources you have used for a project. It must be complete so a reader can easily locate the exact information you used. All entries are listed alphabetically by the first word, ignoring initial words a, an, or the. If the entry continues for more than one line, indent the following lines so only the first line of the entry is at the left margin. Italics may be substituted for underlining; they mean the same thing.

In research papers and manuscripts submitted for publication, words that would be italicized in print are usually underlined. Many word-processing programs and computer printers permit the reproduction of italic type. In material that will be graded, edited or typeset, the type style of every letter ...must be easily recognizable. Italic type is sometimes not distinctive enough for this purpose and you can avoid ambiguity. Check instructor's preferencesReturn to top
