The Bibliography 06-07

Page 1

No research work can be complete without a listing of all reference sources used in the preparation of the paper. The bibliography cards are used to supply the required data. Arrange the bibliography cards alphabetically according to the author's last name. If no author is indicated, alphabetize the entry by the first important word of the title. If the reference is published by a society and no author's name is given, consider the society as the author for alphabetizing. Double space the information you include in your bibliogra­phy. The second line should be indented 1/2 inch.  Double space between every line.
