There are several types of bibliographies:
- Bibliography of sources consulted
- Selected bibliography
- Single-author bibliography
- Annotated bibliography
Create a bibliography entry for each source. A bibliography is a list of all the sources you used to get ideas and information for your paper. It should be on a separate page at the end. Type the heading, Bibliography, and center it at the top of the page. Arrange your sources in alphabetical order by the first word in the reference, whether it is a person's last name, an organization name, or the first word of a title (ignore the articles, A, An, and The and alphabetize by the next word). Information from well-known dictionaries and encyclopedias are normally cited only in notes and do not appear in bibliographies, but you may want to include entries from subject-specific encyclopedias.
Single-space the bibliography, leaving one blank line between entries. Use a “hanging indent” style: The first line should be flush left and all other lines should be indented at least five spaces.
The following is an example of a bibliography of sources consulted. It lists all the sources cited in the notes in alphabetical order.
