Always give credit to your sources (where you find your
information). This is called a citation, or
citing your source. A bibliography is a list of your different
sources. Sources can be books,
encyclopedias, magazines, personal interviews, or from the
Internet. Each source has has its own
style for citations. The citations on the bibliography should be
double-spaced, in alphabetical order, with the first line of each
citation at the margin, and other lines indented 1/2 inch.
The school uses MLA (Modern
