How do you do a bibliography?
Bibliographies are also known as Works Cited pages these days because we use so many more sources than just books and magazines (things in print).
Here's a good place for information on citing in MLA format:

how do I prepare a work cited page using the MLA citation style
To create a bibliography, you need to follow a specific format depending on the citation style you are using, such as MLA or APA.
For MLA format:
1. Gather all the necessary information about your sources, including the author(s), title, publication date, and name of the publisher or website.
2. Arrange your sources in alphabetical order by the author's last name.
3. Start each citation with the author's name, followed by the title of the source in italics or quotation marks.
4. Provide additional publication information, such as the publication date, name of the publisher or website, and page numbers (if applicable).
5. Follow the specific formatting rules for each type of source (e.g., book, website, journal article) as outlined in the MLA guidelines.
For a comprehensive guide on creating MLA citations, you can visit the Modern Language Association website (http://wwwold.ccc.commnet.edu/mla/). Navigate to the "Works Cited Page" and "Sample Works Cited" sections for detailed instructions and examples.
For APA format:
1. Collect all the necessary information about your sources, including the author(s), publication date, title, and source location (publisher or website).
2. List your sources in alphabetical order by the author's last name.
3. Start each citation with the author's last name and initials, followed by the publication date in parentheses.
4. Include the title of the source in sentence case, followed by additional publication information such as the publisher's name and location, or the website URL.
5. Adhere to the specific APA formatting rules for each source type (e.g., book, journal article, online source) as outlined in the APA guidelines.
For comprehensive instructions on creating APA citations, you can refer to the APA Style Guide (http://nutsandbolts.washcoll.edu/) or visit the Purdue Online Writing Lab (http://wwwold.ccc.commnet.edu/apa/). These resources provide detailed explanations and examples for different citation types.
Remember to always double-check your citations for accuracy and consistency.
