1 Today we will… Outline how to keep a record of where my information has been collected from for my project.

2 Success Criteria I can demonstrate how to produce a bibliography

3 REFERENCING SKILLS As you gather information for your project you must keep a record of where the information has been collected from. This is called referencing. At the end of your project you must include a Bibliography. This is a list of where your information has come. It will be easier to create your bibliography if you keep an accurate note of the sources you use.

4 Copy: In order to create an accurate bibliography you must record the following information for every source you use: Author: Put the persons last name first Title: This should be underlined Publisher: The company who printed/produced the source Date: The date and/or year the source was printed in.

5 Each different type of research method is recorded in a slightly different way. Provided on the next slide is an example bibliography created by a student. It shows how each research method should be listed.
