Bibliography Format
A bibliography is a formal list of all the resources you used to prepare a document (like a Science Project Report). It is a list of information on the books and articles that you read as well as internet sites you visited and people you interviewed. This information is very important so there is a very special way to record it. The format we will use is described below. You must follow this format exactly.
