Refer to the citation style your teacher or professor wants you to use. Popular citation styles include MLA, APA and Chicago. Your citation style guide will tell you what information you will need to obtain from each type of source, from books and articles to Internet sources, films and interviews. This generally includes authors, editors, titles, publishers, URLs, publishing and access dates. In preparation for writing your bibliography page, it helps to write this information for each source onto index cards or a separate sheet of paper beforehand.
Open a new document in your word processor. Head it with the word "Bibliography." Your bibliography must be on its own separate page. Do not begin your bibliography on the last page of your essay or research paper.
Refer once more to your style guide. It helps to have a copy close by as you compose your bibliography. Remember that each citation style will dictate a different way of formatting your citations, so pay careful attention. Teachers and professors tend to be sticklers for this and a portion of your grade may depend on how well you follow the citation style. List all of your citations alphabetically according to the author, or by title if there is no definite author.
Read over your bibliography page to make sure that the information is accurate and in the correct format. Print it out and attach it to the back of your essay or research paper.
