35. Working Bibliography example
References
Beaumier, M., & Ford, J. D. (2010). Food insecurity among Inuit women exacerbated by socio-economic stresses and climate change. Canadian Journal of Public Health, 101(3),
Data Source: Google Scholar
Annotation: This article provides the results of a study of Inuit woman in Igloolik, Nunavut. It has a good definition of food security in the introduction. The researchers interviewed Inuit women and health professionals in the community to collect information about the women’s eating habits. As part of their daily routine, the women said that they skipped meals and ate less food. They let their family eat first. They were also anxious that there was less access to country food (caribou) as there was less hunting done in the household. The researchers conclude that “Few studies have focused on the food security of Inuit women in Nunavut. This is one of the first studies linking climate change and food insecurity.” (page 200)

40. Good practice
For each source that you have consulted, be sure you have all the information necessary to cite it in your bibliography.
Accuracy at this stage will save you the trouble of having to re-trace your steps when you are writing your final draft.
Be sure to record the page number if you copy a direct quote.
INST 250/4
