A bibliography is an alphabetical list of all the sources you have consulted for an essay or research paper. You must list your sources in a specific format. Use this guide to create your bibliography in the correct format.

Remember:

	Always underline the title of the work cited.
	Alphabetize by the author’s last name.
	If there is no author, alphabetize by title.
	Always indent the second or third lines (5 spaces).
	Always leave 1 space after commas and 2 spaces after periods and colons.
