Bibliography

The last step in essay preparation is the bibliography, a separate listing of all the works that you actually used in the process of writing your essay, including books you consulted but did not quote from, as well as books you quoted or cited. The list should be arranged alphabetically by the first author’s surname and initials or full name (whatever the author chooses to use). Note that if there is more than one author, only the first author’s name is cited with the surname appearing first. The other authors are listed with their first name or initials first followed by the surname. Include as well the publication information that was given in the footnote, omitting specific page references in the case of books, but including them in the case of articles. Following are several examples.
