What is a bibliography?
 * A bibliography is an alphabetical list of the sources - books, magazines, newspapers, CD-ROMs, websites, 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.

 =Annotating a Bibliography= To annotate a bibliography add a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph to each item in your bibliography. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the items referenced.

Here is an example:

include page="HTML_p_hangindent6" Armstrong, T. 1994, //Multiple intelligences in the classroom,// Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, Alexandria, VA.

Armstrong describes each of seven intelligences identified by Howard Gardner. He offers an informal checklist for identifying personal strengths in the intelligences and suggests classroom applications. This book is a valuable tool for teachers at any level, with concrete suggestions for classroom applications. include page="HTML_p_hangindentno" Top
