A bibliography gives the reader of your essay or assignment an idea of your wide reading on the topic studied. The alphabetical listing of the books, articles and other sources used is an easy guide for the reader to follow. It appears at the end of your written material.

Bibliography or Reference List?

A bibliography is a list of all the resources you have accessed on the topic.

A reference list includes only those resources you have referenced in your essay or assignment

Why write a Bibliography?

Page 5: St Hilda's APA Bibliography and Referencing Guidelines

The listing of a bibliography should be in alphabetical order of the entries. Generally this will be by the authors’ surnames If the book has no author or editor, you use the title of the

book. “A” and “The” at the beginning of an entry are not taken into

account.

There should be a double space between each entry so it is easy to read.

Each source is not numbered. While you may number your sources in your working bibliography and note taking, the numbers should not appear in the final bibliography for submission.

If you use someone else's words, conclusions or opinions you must give the author her/his due credit by using referencing. Even if you do not use the person's exact words, you must acknowledge her/him. The University of Queensland defines plagiarism as 'taking and using the thoughts or writings of another, without acknowledgement’. A Reference is required when you:1. quote another person word for word (direct quotation). It doesn't matter whether it is a phrase, sentence or paragraph, you will need to provide a reference from which it was taken.2. paraphrase or summarise. Ideas or data obtained from another writer must be referenced even if you have changed the wording and/or content3. use statistics. (eg population)4. use tables, figures, diagrams and appendices. The source of these must be acknowledged unless they are entirely from your own research work.5. use controversial facts, opinions, or a date which might be challenged. However, information of a general nature such as facts which are common knowledge eg the years of World War II do not need to be referenced.

When to use in-text referencing…

Page 20: St Hilda's APA Bibliography and Referencing Guidelines

Any of the following examples are acceptable for referencing from a book in your essay:• Dwyer (1999, p.195) suggests that “...”

[quoting word for word from the source]

• In 1999, Dwyer (p.195) suggested that... [referring to an idea from the source]

• According to Dwyer, “The Roman Empire relied on brutality to conquer its enemies” (Dwyer, 1999, p.182). [make sure the reference is in the sentence ie. full stop after the reference]

If you are referencing the central idea or theory of an author, you don’t need to give the page number:- Dwyer (1999) believes Augustus created the Roman Empire through sheer brutality.
