By including a bibliography with your research you are simply giving credit to the place you received your information, (your source). This also allows your audience or readers to go to your source for more information than what you chose to include.

Use the following examples as a guide for preparing your bibliography, which will be included as a slide (or slides) in your multimedia presentation.

If your resource is not shown in the examples below, check with your teacher for the proper format.
