Note:
• A bibliography gives sources for background or additional reading. It may include
descriptive notes, in contrast to a reference list, which includes works that expressly
support a paper's ideas, arguments, and concepts.

• Remember to format your working bibliography entries alphabetically by the

author's last name (or the title if there is no author) and maintain consistency in the
formatting style throughout your list.
