Reading: Using Bibliographies

 


Lesson Objectives:
To understand and use bibliographies.


Bibliography and References: The reader must be able to trace the works you have used. Therefore you should add a bibliography in which you provide as much information as possible about the books or articles. The books and articles must be presented in alphabetical order. The items marked * must always be mentioned.

 

Books:

*Name of author (if more than 3, give the 1st + "et al.")
*Title of book (italics or underlined)
Name of editor or translator, if any
Name of author of introduction, if any
Number of edition, if other than the first
*Place of publication (if no place is given, write "n.p.")
*Name of publisher (if no publisher is given, write "n.p.")
*Date of publication (if no date is given, write "n.d.")

 

EXAMPLES:

Cannon, T., The World of Business, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989.

Wit, T., et al., A Study on Recession, edited by W. Roos, translated by F. Baker, 2nd ed., London: Blackpool Press, 1998.

 

Articles:

*Name of author (if unknown, start with the title)
*Title of article (in quotation marks)
*Name of magazine (italics or underlined)
Volume number (if the magazine is issued weekly or monthly)
*Date of issue

EXAMPLES:

Simeonova, V., "The Bulgarian Solution?", Time 152, 28 September 1998.

Bush, R., "Agriculture in Jeopardy", The Middle East 211, May 1992.

"Getting General Motors Going Again", The Economist 323, 2 May 1992.

 

FOOTNOTES: If you cite a work, the footnote entry should state the same information as the bibliography entry plus a page number. Note that the first name and surname are not reversed.

EXAMPLES:

1T. Cannon, The World of Business, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989, p. 89.

2V. Simeonova, "The Bulgarian Solution?", Time 152, 28 September 1998, p.22.

If there are later references to a work already cited, just state author and page number.

EXAMPLE:

3Cannon, p.23.
