How to make a bibliography

Purpose of Bibliographies

A bibliography :

  • allows you to acknowledge the sources of information in your assignment. If you present someone else's knowledge as your own, it is called plagiarism.
  • allows the marker to see the range of resources you used
  • allows readers of your assignment to verify facts
  • also allows others to find further reading on the topic
  • shows if authorities on a subject have been considered
  • allows you to check back on information you have presented in your assignment
