 Citing Sources
RESEARCH WRITING BIBLIOGRAPHY OR WORKS CITED PAGE A bibliography is an alphabetical list of the books and other sources used in writing a report. You should write down the author, title, and publication information on your source cards for each source that you use. A works cited page is an alphabetical list of the books and other sources that you actually referred to (or cited) in the body of the paper. Your teacher will let you know if you are to include a bibliography or works cited page. The formats for the entries are identical for both types of source pages.
