What is a bibliography?
A bibliography is an alphabetic listing (citations) of all sources of information used in a piece of research work.
There are a number of different ways to structure bibliographies. It is essential that you use only one style. At Clonard, we recommend you follow the APA style.
Many online resources provide citations, so you need to check which style has been used. If it is not the APA style, you will need to create your own citation.
Points to remember
Includes a Referencing generator and In-Text citation examples.
