A BIBLIOGRAPHY MLA Style

Part 1: Books and Journal Articles

What is a Bibliography ?

It is also called a Reference List or a Citations List.

A list of the sources you used to write your paper.

Why are elephants

in this presentation

?

A famous saying is that “An elephant

never forgets.”Elephants

are very clever

animals.

A Bibliography appears at the

end of a research paper.

Each source (book, article, website etc) is

called an “entry.”

Put entries in alphabetical

order. Entries are not numbered in

MLA style.

What information do you need to write an

entry?

For a normal book entry you need :

the author’s name, the title, the city, the

publisher and the year.

To help you remember, think

A-T-C-P-Y or

A Toad Can Poison You.

I hope this helps you to write bibliography

entries for books and journal

articles.

In the next lesson, we will

learn how to cite articles from the

Internet and interviews.

Thank you for listening .

HAPPY WRITING !
