pages 570- 580 Working Bibliography

Make sure that you maintain a working bibliography
A working bibliography is a collection of all of the sources that you decide to consult throughout the process of researching and writing your paper.
• This collection will contain both materials that you use in your final paper and also ones that you do not. At the end or your paper you will only put the ones that you used into your final works cited.
• Your information should contain information copied from books, the web, and any other sources that you may use.
When searching for bibliographic information on a web page you may have to dig a little to find it.
• Some key things that you really want to try and find are the author’s name, the date of publication, and the name of the sponsoring organization.
• Do not assume that the information is not there just because you don’t see it right away.
As you collect all of your sources you want to make sure that you keep them as organized as possible.
• A good way to do this is to print off everything that you get off of the internet and to make photo copies of all the hard copy sources that you use.
• By doing this you can separate your sources into different categories to follow your outline and then you can also highlight and color-coat them.
