  2. Bibliography cards A bibliography card lists the publishing information of each source in MLA format on a separate note card. This information will be used for your Bibliography or Works Cited page. Number your source cards and use these same numbers in your research notes to efficiently match your notes to your sources. 

  3. Secondary Sources • Presents information derived or compiled from other sources • They offer interpretations, explanations, and comments about events • Newspapers, encyclopedias, books, and magazines

  4. Primary Sources • Provide direct, firsthand information aobut events. • Letters, journals, diaries, eyewitness accounts, and historical documents

  5. Items on Most Bibliography Cards1.  AuthorIf given, the author is the first item on a bibliography card. Begin with the author's last name followed by the first name and the middle initial, if provided. When you later list all of your sources in your final bibliography, you will alphabetize according to the last names of your authors (in most cases). If your book has an editor instead of an author, put his or her name where you would the author’s followed by , ed.

  6. 2. Title The title of the book, article, or other work comes next. If the author’s name is not given, begin with the title and alphabetize by the title in the final bibliography.

  7. 3. Publishing InformationPublishing information consists of city, publisher, and date for a book; title, date, and pages for a magazine; title, volume, date, and pages for a journal; title, date, edition, section, and pages for a newspaper; and other, often more intricate, details for specialized forms. In all cases, this information should help your reader find the materials you used in your research. You will usually find this required information on the front or back of the title page and on or near the Table of Contents page of your magazine or journal.

  8. 4.   Source Number Put the source number in the upper right corner of your bibliography card and repeat it on the associated note cards. This simplifies your documentation. For example, if you took seven notes from Beard’s article on the Constitution, you would have a 5 (the arbitrary number assigned to that source alone) on the bibliography card and a 5 in the top right corner of all seven of the note cards. On note cards, you would have no other reference to the author, the title, or the other publication facts of the source. See examples of note cards below.

  9. 5. Call Number The call number is the reference number for your library. It will help you find the source in its proper location or to request it. Be sure to record this number accurately and in its entirety. Be sure that the number you record is for the library you are using: numbers may vary from library to library.

  10. 6. Location Put the location in the lower right corner of your bibliography card. It will remind you where you acquired the source.

  23. Basic components of an Internet citation:1) Author. 2) "Title of Article, Web page or site" in quotation marks. 3) Title of Magazine, Journal, Newspaper, Newsletter, Book, Encyclopedia, or Project, underlined. 4) Editor of Project. 5) Indicate type of material, e.g. advertisement, cartoon, clipart, electronic card, interview, map, online posting, photograph, working paper, etc. if not obvious. 

  24. 6) Date of article, of Web page or site creation, revision, posting, last update, or date last modified. 7) Group, association, name of forum, sponsor responsible for Web page or Web site. 8) Access date (the date you accessed the Web page or site). 9) Complete Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or network address in angle brackets.

  25. Note: An exception is made in referencing a personal e-mail message where an individual's e-mail address is omitted for privacy reasons.Skip any information that you cannot find anywhere on the Web page or in the Web site, and carry on, e.g. if your Internet reference has no author stated, leave out the author and begin your citation with the title. Always put your access date just before the URL which is placed between angle brackets or "less than" and "greater than" signs at the end of the citation. Generally, a minimum of three items are required for an Internet citation: Title, Access Date, and URL.

  26. If the URL is too long for a line, divide the address where it creates the least ambiguity and confusion, e.g. do not divide a domain name and end with a period such as geocities. Do not divide a term in the URL that is made up of combined words e.g. SchoolHouseRock.

  27. Never add a hyphen at the end of the line to indicate syllabically word division unless the hyphen is actually found in the original URL. Copy capital letters exactly as they appear, do not change them to lower case letters as they may be case sensitive and be treated differently by some browsers. Remember that the purpose of indicating the URL is for readers to be able to access the Web page. Accuracy and clarity are essential.
