Citing Sources To Avoid Plagiarism.
7th Grade- Reading Turner

2. Why do I need a bibliography?
PLAGIARISM is using someone else’s words or ideas without giving proper credit.
A BIBLIOGRAPHY gives this person the credit for their research and words.

3. A bibliography is an alphabetized listing of all your sources.
You need this information:
Title of book, article, or internet site
The author (or authors) when possible
The publisher
The publication date
The place of publication (choose the one closest to where you live)

4. Where do I find this information?
This information is found in the first few pages of the book.

5. Let’s look at three types… Look at your handout.
Book
Encyclopedia
Internet

6. An example of a book entry:
Author’s last name, first name. Book Title. City of publication: Publishing company, publication date.
Important: you must indent the second and third lines of any entry

7. An example of an encyclopedia entry:
“Title of article.” Title of Encyclopedia. Edition. Date of publication.
Notice we are still indenting the 2nd and 3rd lines.

8. An example of an Internet source:
“Title of Article.” Version date of publication. Publisher. Date you accessed the website. Website address.
Remember to indent those 2nd and 3rd lines.

9. Diagramming a Bibliography
Let’s do this one together… label the author, title, city of publication, publication company, and year published.
