Standard Bibliography Format
for all written research papers
The following
format for bibliographies is currently being used at WHS (taken from the
HARBRACE COLLEGE HANDBOOK, which follows current guidelines from the MLA).
A bibliography is a list of the sources actually used in writing a
research paper. Some teachers may require variations of this standard
form, but all include the pertinent information regarding the source. The
list of sources is generally arranged alphabetically by author or main entry
and is double-spaced
throughout. The first line of each entry is flush with
the left margin; for subsequent lines, tab in once.
Things to
remember when typing your bibliography:
- The list of sources is generally arranged alphabetically by
the author's last name (or the main entry).
- Double space between each line and each entry.
- The first line of each entry is flush with the left margin;
use the tab key to indent the second line of the entry (if there is one)
- Book titles and magazine titles are always underlined.
- Leave two spaces after a period or a colon.
- End each entry with a period
- If there is no author or editor, start with the next part of
the entry--the title.
Following
are some examples of correct bibliographic entries:

(Note
that the pages of the article are listed after the date of the magazine and the

You would start with the title in quotes and follow the rest of the
format).
