Bibliographies (16.2-16.2.2, pp. 155-157)

Please see the Turabian manual for more information of the various types:

  • Selected bibliography
  • Single-author bibliography
  • Annotated bibliography

Your bibliography should be on a separate page at the end of your paper.

  • Create a bibliography entry for each source and arrange entries in alphabetical order by the first word of the work, which could be a person's last name, an organization's name, or the first word of a title (ignore the articles A, An, and The in titles and alphabetize by the next word).
  • 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.
  • If you are citing more than one work by the same individual, arrange the entries alphabetically by title (16.2.2, pp. 156-157). After the first entry, replace the author's name with six hyphens.
  • Single-space the bibliography, leaving one blank line between entries. Use a "hanging indent" style if the entry is more than one line in length, as shown in the Type of Source examples.

The following is an example of a bibliography that lists the sources cited in the notes in alphabetical order.
