    • 1

      Compile your bibliographic information. This includes title, authors, editors, translators, place and date of publication, publisher's name, available URL, date accessed, and others, depending on your type of source. You will need a complete entry for every source that you cite.

      Consult with others for formatting. If in school or college, your instructor will provide a preference generally for a particular style. Different fields have different standards, so it is important to check with others to see how you should organize and present your bibliography.

      Use appropriate citations for your type of source. Books with one or multiple authors, Web sites, CD's, encyclopedias and other types of sources have their own conventions of bibliographic citation. See Resources below to identify the type of citation you need for you source.
