I need to do a powerpoint on a career. I have to find information on the web about that career.
One of the slide requirements was to include a bibliography.
So, I'm wondering what does a bibliography for a powerpoint include?
Do I need to include the sources I used to gather the information for the powerpoint?
Thank you for your time.
I'm sorry, but I can't help you with the Powerpoint citations, but I'm sure another teacher will within the next 10 hours or so.
In the meantime, this is an excellent source of career information.

No worries Ms.Sue, I've already got all the information.
I just need to know what a bibliography for a powerpoint includes.
Like do I have to list the sources I used to gather the info, or not.
Thanks.
A bibliography (works cited list) on a powerpoint is the same as one for any other paper. See Dr Russ's explanation above (Jan 18, 5:26 am).
And Larry, please do not post duplicates.
For a PowerPoint presentation, a bibliography typically includes the sources you used to gather the information and images that you've used in your slides. Including a bibliography is important for providing proper credit to the original authors and avoiding plagiarism.
To create a bibliography for your PowerPoint presentation, follow these steps:
1. Start by listing all the sources you used for your research. This can include books, websites, articles, interviews, or any other relevant sources.
2. For each source, include the necessary information to identify and locate it. This may vary depending on the type of source, but common elements may include:
- Author(s) or creator(s) of the source
- Title of the source (article, book, website, etc.)
- Date of publication or last update
- Publication or website name
- URL (if it's a website)
3. There are different formatting styles for bibliographies, such as APA (American Psychological Association), MLA (Modern Language Association), or Chicago style. Check with your teacher or professor to determine which style they prefer. Each style has specific rules for how to format the citations, including the order and punctuation.
4. Once you have gathered all the necessary information and chosen a citation style, organize your bibliography in alphabetical order by the author's last name (or by title if no author is listed).
5. In your PowerPoint presentation, create a slide specifically for the bibliography. You can title it "Bibliography" or "References." On this slide, list all your sources in the chosen citation style. It's common to use a hanging indent for each entry, where the first line starts flush left, and subsequent lines are indented.
Remember, the purpose of a bibliography is to provide your audience with the information they need to find and explore the sources you used. By including a bibliography, you demonstrate your credibility and thoroughness in conducting research for your presentation.
