These days, bibliographies are also known as "works cited" pages.

Click on Essay & Research Paper Level, then on Research Papers (mla-style) [or ... (apa-style)... depending on what your teacher has instructed you to use].
On the MLA page, you'll see a list on the left, some of which have to do with the works cited page, including a sample works cited page. There you'll see it!

To write a bibliography or works cited page, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine the citation style: The citation style will depend on the requirements of your assignment or the guidelines provided by your teacher. The most common styles are MLA (Modern Language Association) and APA (American Psychological Association). Make sure to clarify which style you need to use.
2. Gather necessary information: For each source you used in your research paper or essay, collect the relevant information required for the citation. This typically includes the author's name, the title of the work, the publication date, and other details depending on the citation style.
3. Organize the information: Organize the citation information according to the guidelines of your chosen citation style. Each citation style has specific rules for formatting and arranging the information.
4. Format the citation: Apply the formatting guidelines of the citation style to create a properly formatted citation entry. This includes using italics or quotation marks, indenting certain lines, and following specific punctuation and capitalization rules.
5. Arrange the citations: Arrange the citations alphabetically by the author's last name or by the title if there is no author. Follow the guidelines of your chosen citation style for the specific rules on arranging citations.
6. Provide necessary details: Make sure to include all the required details for each source, such as the page numbers for articles or the publisher for books. Check the guidelines of your chosen citation style to see which details are necessary.
Here is an example of an MLA-style bibliography:
