How to Write a Bibliography

When writing a report, you must indicate exactly where you found whatever material you borrow - whether facts, opinions, or quotations. The bibliography appears at the end of the paper and is arranged alphabetically by the first word in each source listed. If the author's name is unknown, alphabetize by the first word in the title other than "a", "an" or "the".Please remember to always indent the first line of each new source, and alphabetize your sources. Save this and use this every year!
