How to Cite Your Sources and make a Suggested Bibliography

GUIDE TO PREPARING A BIBLIOGRAPHY*
When doing research and writing a report, it is always necessary to name the source(s) of your information. This list of sources is called a bibliography. A bibliography should be listed alphabetically. The second line of an entry should be indented. Skip a line after each entry. Here are a few examples of how to ccite common sources.
FOR A BOOK:

example:  
Fogle, Bruce. Training Your Dog. New York: DK Publishing, 2001.
