How to Help a Friend on the Bibliography Without Committing Plagiarism

When a classmate asks you for help with his or her Bibliography, you should ...
  1. never share your Bibliography or Works Cited with a classmate.
  2. never give a classmate a complete citation.
  3. remind your friend that the Bibliography Notes 2018-19 page exists. This page contains all the advice, models, and source information a person could ask for.
  4. give your friend the following information only, in this order: 
  • The title of the essay
  • The title of the anthology / source
  • The author of the essay
  • The page numbers of the essay
Remember, if you let a classmate copy your work - either intentionally or inadvertently - you are also guilty of plagiarism. The penalty for both the borrower and the lender is a 0 on the assignment and a referral.

Bibliography Notes, 2018-19


Ed Kline
Mr. Kline
AP Language and Composition
18 October 2018
Bibliography

1)    A Bibliography is a list of all texts consulted during the process of research. A Works Cited is a list of all works quoted in the essay. Each entry in a Bibliography or Works Cited is called a “citation.”
2)    Since a Bibliography stands alone, it needs the traditional MLA header on the first page. The Works Cited page does not need a header, and it should be stapled after the last page of your essay. Even if you have room to include your Works Cited on your last page, the Works Cited should be its own page. Yes, it’s a waste of paper. Sorry.
3)    Works Cited or Bibliography is centered at the top of the page. It is not highlighted, underlined, or quoted.
4)    Works are listed alphabetically by the first word in the citation, which is usually the author’s last name. Numbers are alphabetized before letters.
5)    Work is formatted with a hanging indent.
6)    Works Cited and Bibliography pages are double-spaced. Do not put an empty line / extra return between entries.
7)    Beware of using citation makers. Be sure to check any citations you’ve imported from a citation maker for accuracy.
8)    For sources from a database, omit the Location but include the Date of Access. From sources from the general web, include both Location and Date of Access.
Generic Format:

  1. Author.
Last name, First name.
Last name, First name, and First name Last name (for 2 authors).
Last name, First name, et al. for three or more
  1. “Title of source.”

If the source is the container (such as a novel, play, or film), italicize and follow with a period.
