This blog post is going to be slightly different to my others, no don't worry it will still be poorly constructed and not actually make much sense, I am going to be detailing and demonstrating that I know how to do a Bibliography.On Thursday we were shown the different ways of doing a Bibliography and had it explained to us by Eddie.
For my own personal benefit but also for yours I am going to get the definition of a Bibliography;
Bibliography : a list of writings with time and place of publication (such as the writings of a single author or the works referred to in preparing a document etc.)
For this task I am going to be using a couple of different resources which are available to me as a student to demonstrate this.
Below you will find these wonderful and probably incorrectly formatted examples!

And that's it for now
I'm not completely sure I've done this correctly but I can always have another go at a later date
That's a pretty good first go! A few tweaks will sort it all out: Dovey needs an initial (no need for capitals) and a place of publication.
ReplyDeleteVer Hague and Jackson's first names should be initials. Again, cite the place of publication.
I'm not sure what the "[online]" bit does in the first two entries.
In the journal articles (one appears to be a journal article, the other from a magazine), there should be an author (of the article) and a title (of the article). The first article doesn't seem to have an author.
As well as the title of the article, the title of the journal in which the article can be found should also be given.
The rest of the information is fine.
For the two contributions to collections, I think you've gone a bit astray (the first one might be a book with several authors rather than an edited collection; the second looks like a journal article without a title). Have a look at the material from last week's session and try the bibliography game again.
