A Bibliography is a list placed at the end of an
assignment of all resources (including ideas, concepts,
data and information) used in the preparation of an assignment.A Reference List is placed at the end of the assignment and provides more
detail of each reference cited in the textual references.
A Bibliography is
important:
- to acknowledge
the authors of the works you have used

provide details on where you sourced your information

to be checked and verified

currency of resources

Sources included in a
Bibliography:
- books, including
textbooks, encyclopaedias,
- journals,
magazines, newspaper articles, etc.,
- audio-visual
resources including DVD’s, videos, audio tapes, records, CD’s,

Bibliography
General guidelines:
- One of the most
widely accepted ways of setting out your Bibliography is to use the Harvard
System
- CiteAce
is set to the Harvard format, however, it can be re-set to APA or
MLA formats
- The Bibliography
is arranged in alphabetical order by the author’s surname or title if there is
no author acknowledged
- If there is more
than one author, list the authors as they appear on the title page
- If there is more
than 2 authors, additional authors can be acknowledged by the phrase et al.
