Page 6 Bibliography

When writing a paper, article, report, or blog, you will need to provide links, or, at times, list sources at the end of your paper, which is called a bibliography. Sources are compiled and included, usually on the last page of your report or biography paper. You will title the page Bibliography.


Read "Bibliographies" on pages 263-264 of ResourceLines 7/8.
