A bibliography card contains all of the publication information from one of the sources that you use. When you find a source that you would like to use for your research, you should immediately create a bibliography card.
 * CREATING THE BIBLIOGRAPHY/SOURCE CARDS**
 * What is a bibliography or source card?**

The information you need for a bibliography entry is taken from the title page and the back of the title page.
 * Where do I find the information I need for a bibliography/source card?**

A bibliography or works cited page that lists all the sources you've used or cited is placed at the end of the research paper. Check that page of the wiki to learn how to create one.
 * So what do I do with all these source/bib. cards once I've used them?**

1. In the top right corner of each new source card, write a letter of the alphabet beginning with A. 2. Find the format “recipe” below that “fits” your source. 3. Start at the margin on the first line of your bibliography card. If you run out of room, then go the next line, but INDENT that line and every line thereafter. 4. Pay close attention to spacing, punctuation, and capitalization. Those items are important.
