For a research paper I need to write a bibliography, and the teacher wanted us to do it her way [7th grade]. Can any of you inform me how to do a bibliography entry for a book, encyclopedia article, and website?

Stop plagiarizing other peoples work and be original.

The Modern Language Association is perhaps the main authority for how to use citations in research.  Here's what they say: Web Sites should have author (if given), title underlined, date of publication or update (if available) originator (if available), date of access, and the URL (electronic address).\n\nThe thing that's easiest to forget is to include the date you looked at the site.  Web pages change so frequently that what you saw on a Tuesday may be gone by Thursday.

A bibliography is different from a Works Cited page.\n\nBibliography is a sampling of books on a particular topic, usually encompassing the major works in that literature and some contrasting opinions.\n\nWorks Cited is a listing of books, magazines, journals, etc., from which information is taken to write the paper.\n\nDepending on what type of writing style you are using (MLA, APA, Chicago, Turban), you will either write a Bibliography or a Works Cited page.\n\nIf a specific writing style hasn't been assigned, usually MLA or APA is accepted.\n\nIn general, a Bibliography is an alphabetical list (by last name of author) of all the works you've cited, referenced or utilized.\n\nThe authors name, with last name and a comma and initials, goes first.  Then the Title of the work (in quotes if it is an article, italicized if it is a periodical, underlined if it is a book) Example:\n\nKeynes, J. M.  <u>A General Theory of Interest and Wages.<u> London: Houghton-Mifflin Co., 1938.\n\nTobin, J.  "Towards a More Economically Just Society." <I>Econometrica<I> Vol. 47.  Univ. of Chicago Press, May 1963.

Click on link below for sample:\n\nGeneral Guidelines\n\n    * Type your paper or write it on a computer and print it out on standard-sized paper (8.5 X 11 inches).\n    * Double-space your paper.\n    * Set the margins of your document to 1 inch on all sides.\n    * Create a header that numbers all pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner, one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin. (Note: Your instructor or whoever is reading the manuscript may ask that you omit the number on your first page. Always follow their guidelines.)\n    * Use either underlining or italics throughout your essay for highlighting the titles of longer works and providing emphasis.\n    * If you have any notes, include them on a page before your works cited page and format them the same way as your works cited list.\n\nFormatting the first page of your paper\n\n    * Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically requested.\n    * Provide a double-spaced entry in the top left corner of the first page that lists your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date.\n    * Create a header that numbers all pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner, one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin. (Note: Your instructor or whoever is reading the manuscript may ask that you omit the number on your first page. Always follow their guidelines.)\n    * Center your title on the line below the header with your name, and begin your paper immediately below the title.\n\nHere is a sample first page of an essay in MLA style:

If you have not been given a specific theme to write about then choose a subject which interests you (writing about what you know is easier than something of which you have little  knowledge ). Use the web to get information to support your writing (DO NOT copy verbatim, use it to stimulate ideas). Decide if you are going to just be informative or whether you wish to support a debate or pose a question on the merits or otherwise for said subject. Think carefully about the subject matter and whether it would be suitable to use in an essay which remember will be marked by teachers. An essay is usually written in the third person but if it is of the form of a journal then you can use the first person, such as 'one', 'I' etc. If you use quotes from researched material always credit the work, ie name the source;- book, web page, author.... . Good luck, you will find it immensely satisfying to research something of interest to you, but remember it is an essay and not a book. If you have not been given a restriction on number of words keep the prose full but tight. No huge amounts of preamble, going off the subject or endless repetition none of which will inspire the reader.

Uhm...I think you'd just have to write the name of the person, the topic you discussed, the day/time, and where you discussed it.\n\nI'd look on www.easybib.com or www.noodlebib.com

Alibris is my favorite for teacher editions, but I've used all of the links listed below.  It might help to type in ATE after the title for annotated teacher's edition.

I like wikipedia.com and yahooligans.com myself. Hope that's of help. Some say ask.com but I don't get far with that. If you have a specific textbook, the publisher might have a website. Or from your school -- we have a link from there. Good luck!!!!!!!!!

-Wikipedia is always a good place to do reasearch online.  Also dont forget that librarys  are still in existence.  You would be suprised how much info a good library has.  Also try custompapers.com.  Good luck with your paper.

In your citation, use the city closest to you. That would be the correct format. I taught research for many years using the MLA format. Trust me.

Your school library might have an MLA hand book, but generally....\n\nto site a resource, at the end of the sentence and before the period you do this (Author's last name page number)\n\nmeaning...you actually write the author's last name and then space and then the page number, all in parenthesis.\n\nIn the top right hand corner of all of your pages should be your last name and the page number of the paper\n\nhere's a great website:  \n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_mla.html

A Bibliography is, literally, a list of books. It is specifially a list of the books the author has referred to, quoted from, or otherwise used in the course of research for their book/article/essay. It is customary to write this list in order to credit the authors of the original works.

I'm not sure, but why don't you include a quote from the teacher or the book using these terms?  I'm sure putting them in context would help with identifying them.
