Bibliography Format for Reports

The most popular type of bibliography, the single-list bibliographic format, calls for all works to appear in one list arranged alphabetically by the authors' last names.

Please use this format for all reports and projects this year when several books or sources are used. Remember, the Bibliography is on its own page and is the last page of the report.

EXAMPLES

A. For a book

Author's last name, author's first name, Title of book (underlined), publisher, place published, published year, copyright year, illustrator (if any), number of pages in the book
