Following are guidelines on how to compile a bibliography.
- A bibliography is organised alphabetically by the author's surname.
- If there is no author, the title of the book is used.
- When taking notes remember to record the bibliographic details of the resource you use, as you may not be able to use that resource again.
- All examples listed below are to be used at the end of the text that you write, not as footnotes at the bottom of a page.
BOOKS WITH ONE AUTHOR:
Darlow, Denys (1980), Musical Instruments, HarperCollins, Melbourne.
Note the method:
1. Author's last name, then first name
2. Year of publication - in brackets
3. Title - underlined
4. Publisher
5. Place of publication
