Elementary School BIBLIOGRAPHY

A bibliography is a list of the sources you use when you gather information for a report. Every time you use a source - whether it is an encyclopedia, book, magazine, or internet site - you should record the needed information immediately.

Remember, not all bibliographic information may be available for each source. You can only use what is available!
