Bibliography Information:

Why must you do a bibliography?

  • To acknowledge and give credit to sources of words, ideas, diagrams, illustrations, quotations borrowed, or any materials summarized or paraphrased.
  • To show that you are respectfully borrowing other people’s ideas, not stealing them, i.e. to prove that you are not plagiarizing.
  • To offer additional information to your readers who may wish to further pursue your topic.
  • To give readers an opportunity to check out your sources for accuracy. An honest bibliography inspires reader confidence in your writing.
  • Your teacher insists that you do a bibliography or marks will be deducted.
