8.5 Constructing bibliographies

At the end of your assignments you need to include a bibliography or list of references. This is an alphabetical list of all the sources that you have used – each chapter, book and article that you refer to in the main body of your discussion. Bibliographies take a particular form and usually involve listing the:

• author's name,

• date of publication,

• title of the piece, and

• details of the publisher.

The best way to illustrate what exactly goes in a bibliography is to show you one. This course has a list of references - have a look at page 20 to see how the authors have laid it out.
