What is a bibliography?
- A bibliography is an alphabetical list of the sources – books, magazines, newspapers, CD-ROMs, Internet, interviews, etc. – that we have used to prepare a piece of work.
Why do we write bibliographies?
- To acknowledge our sources.
- To give our readers information to identify and consult our sources.
- To make sure our information is accurate.
What if we don’t include a bibliography?
- We may be accused of plagiarism (that is, stealing another person’s ideas or writing).
- If so, we may lose some or all of the marks for an assignment or a course.
