A bibliography lists the publication information needed to find a source. This typically includes:
* Author(s): The person or people who created the work.
* Title of the work: The name of the book, article, website, etc.
* Publication date: The year (and sometimes month or day) the source was published.
* Publisher: The company or organization that published the source.
* Location of publication: The city and state where the source was published (for books).
* Retrieval information: The URL for websites or the volume and issue numbers for journal articles.
However, a bibliography doesn't necessarily list *all* publication information. For example, it might not include:
* ISBN/ISSN: Unique identifiers for books and journals, respectively.
* Number of pages: While helpful, this isn't always considered essential.
* Specific details about the edition: Unless there are multiple editions, this information may be omitted.
In summary: A bibliography provides enough information to locate a source, but it doesn't always include every single detail about the publication.
