Simply insert the author's name and the date of publication in parenthesis (Author, date) in your text to credit a source. If the reader reading your report wants to access the information and learn more about it, they may look up the reference in your bibliography. Please note that these are only examples; you should give each source a unique citation style. When writing your bibliography, be sure to follow these simple steps: first, find out who the authors are of the books or articles you use from library resources. Next, identify what is known as the title of the work. Finally, list all the places the work has been published with its date. Books--use these tags: author's name, year of publication. Article sources include name of researcher(s), year of publication, journal article title. Library catalog cards include location, date written on front of card. Newspaper articles include name of newspaper, city edition printed, date. It is not necessary to list paperback books as separate items in your bibliography. They are considered part of the general public domain and can be used by anyone without permission. Unpublished works must be cited with the author's name and date of publication. Articles in magazines or newspapers can be difficult to cite because there is no author per se. Instead, an editor will have assigned each piece to a specific writer or group of writers.
