Referencing:

A bibliography is an alphabetical list of every source used to research your work. It is placed at the end of the work. As well as the bibliography it is also usual to show your sources "as you go along". For example if I quote something or use a picture from a book or a website, I acknowledge this besides the quote or picture. This is known as a citation, and it is a shorthand method of making a reference in the body of an essay, which is then linked to the full reference at the end of the essay. A citation provides the reader with accurate references so that he or she can locate the source easily. There are lots of different ways of referencing but a popular form is the Modern Language Association or MLA

Website: Name of author inverted. Full Title. Publisher, Publication date. Access date URL of source. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Nguyen, Stephen.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Book: First briefly cite it by: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In MLA citation no date of publication is needed just the authors surname and page number. Example: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> When people marry now “there is an important sense in which they don’t know what they are doing” (Giddens 46).

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Then in the alphabetical bibliography at the end you give more detail eg <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Name of author inverted. Title of book. Place of publication: Name of Publisher, Year of publication. Example: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Lipson, Charles.
