1 PREPARING A BIBLIOGRAPHY When you write a research paper, you MUST always give credit for any information or ideas you get from another source. If you fail to give credit for materials used, whether quoted or not, you have committed plagiarism, a form of cheating punishable by penalties as severs as suspension and dismissal from school or even a fob. A bibliography is a list of sources used to complete the research paper and found at the end of the paper. Each entry is listed alphabetically by author s last name. If there is no author, list by titles first word. (A, An, The don t count.) Leave 2 spaces between, author & title, title & publishing data. The second and subsequent (following lines) are indented. Each entry in single-spaced; double-spaced between entries.

A Guide for Writing Research Papers Based on MLA: Citing Sources Using MLA Style to Cite and Document Sources Annotations It is very important that you provide an annotation for each source used. An annotation describes the source and what you learned or gained from it. The annotation should also evaluate the source. The following questions may be helpful: 1. What type of reference is it? Is it very specific or a broad overview? Does it discuss just one person or just one part of an incident or topic?

5 2. How did you use this source in researching and preparing your entry? Did you use this for your paper? How did this source help you understand your topic and support your thesis?
