 The
Bibliography...
Whenever you use information from any source, you have to
credit that information to the book, magazine, Internet
site, person or whatever, where you found the information.
This is called a citation.
Notice
- The beginning of each citation in a bibliography
sticks out and the rest of the citation is indented -
this makes it easier to scan through a list to find a
particular author's name (hanging indent format).
- The first author is listed last name, first name. If
there are two or more authors, only the first is listed
this way; others are listed first name followed by last
name. It is done this way to make it easier to
alphabetize the list by the primary author's last name.
(Tomb, Eric and Paul Rail.)
Sometimes there isn't an author, just a publisher;
in that case, list the person's name, put in a comma and
the word "editor". (Rennert, Richard,
editor.)
- The title of the book or magazine is
underlined.
- The name of an article is in "quotations".
- There is a colon (:) after the place of publication
and a comma after the publisher's name
(New York: Petrucci Books, Inc.,
1995.) The three pieces of information about the
publishing of the book go together as one section.
- There is a period between each section of the
citation.
The Purdue
University Online Writing Lab says that print sources
should be cited in the following ways:
A book
Author(s). Title of Book. Place of Publication:
Publisher, Year of Publication. Page number(s).
Example:
Osborne, Charles, editor. The Dictionary of
Composers. New York: Taplinger Publishing
Company, 1981. p 42-43.
A part of a book (such as an essay in a collection or an
encyclopedia)
Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of
Collection. Editor's Name(s), ed. Place of
Publication:
Publisher, Year. Pages.
Example:
Schmid, Ernst Fritz. "Mozart and Haydn." The Creative
World of Mozart: Studies by Eminent
Scholars in Mozart's Style,
Technique, Life and Works. Paul Henry Lang, editor.
New
York: W.W. Norton and Company, Inc., 1963.
pp 86-102.
If this were an article from an encyclopedia, you would
add volume number after the title of the encyclopedia.
An article in a periodical (such as a newspaper or
magazine)
Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of Source.
Month / Day / Year. Volume & Number: pages.
Example:
Bowles, Richard W. "Where Have All the Marches Gone?"
Bandworld. January-February
1999 Vol. 14, Number 3: p 8.

What about citing electronic sources??
How do you do a bibliographic entry for a CD-ROM or an
Internet site or information you got from a television
program?? Check the Wayland Public School's Citing
Electronic Sources site.

For a website you may use:
Author (if available) (last, first). "Title of Page".
Address of Page
(http://www.etc.).
Date of creation or revision (if
available).
Example:
Muffitt, Diane. "WMS Tidbit: Fall 1999".
