Here’s how to do various types of sources.  We’ll show you how to do an example bibliography below:

 

 

Book, Two Authors:

Bird, Caroline and Sara Welles Briller.  Born Female.  New York:  David McKay and Co., Inc., 1968.

 

Book, One Author:   

Kirshon, John W.  Chronicle of America.  New York:  Simon and Schuster, Inc., 1989, pp. 425-426.

 

Magazine:

Larson, Geoffrey.  “Why George W. Bush is the Republican Candidate.”  Time.  November 22, 2004, pp. 27-32.

 

Encyclopedia:

“Tornadoes.”   Encyclopedia Americana, 2002,   pp. 56-67.

 

Newspaper Article:

“Understanding Avian Flu.” Albuquerque Journal, November 29, 2006, p. 7.

 

Interview:

Ustinov, Johnathon, Ph.D. University of New Mexico.  Personal Interview.  January 22, 2006.

 

Email Correspondence:

Budd, Billy.  “Re:  Are ships cool?”.  buddb@aol.com.  December 14, 2005.

 

Internet Site (no author)

“Volcanoes”.   http://www.cnn.com/volcanoes.  Janaury 29, 2006.

 

Internet Site (author)

Osborn, Mike.  “Understanding the Teenage Brain.” http://blogspot.osborn/kids.  February 11, 2005.

 

Note I:  Finding the author in websites can be difficult.  Sometimes they are located at the bottom of the webpage.  Others can be found by clicking on a “contact us” or “email” link.  In other cases, stories written for a large website might have authors listed.

 

Note II:  The date on the reference for an internet site refers to the date you, the researcher, saw the website.

 

So, using the above citations as an example, here’s how the Bibliography looks printed out:
