APWH Bibliography information

Your biography and your VoiceThread must be accompanied by a formal bibliography (you can combine them). You will use the Turabian style (seventh edition) to compose your bibliography

Turabian Structure
The Bibliography (in general)

·      Turabian style requires that there be a single space between lines within a bibliographic entry (or note) and a double space between a bibliographic entry (or note)
·      Arrange the items on your reference list alphabetically by author, interfiling books, articles, etc.  Some professors will want Web-based sources in a separate section.  I do not.
·      Indent the second and following lines 5 spaces.
·      There are no bullets or numbers preceding the entries.
·      If you are using a typewriter and cannot use italics, then use underlining. Otherwise, Italicize!
·      If no author is given, start with the title and then the date, and organize using the first portion of the entry. If a web page has no author, DON’T USE IT! EVER!
·      Websites: include the date the page was created (or updated) and the date you looked at it. Links change!

Places you can go for help:  . Georgetown University has a useful condensed version http://www.library.georgetown.edu/tutorials/research-guides/turabian-paren-guide or you can use the actual Turabian Style Manual 7th edition.
