PRESENTING CORRECT
BIBLIOGRAPHIES
SOMETIMES CALLED REFERENCING
Partly based on Graham Taylor’s presentation from
Unley High School
What Is Referencing?
• It is the formal acknowledgment of the work of others
• It shows you are an effective & ethical researcher & that you are ICT literate
• It improves the quality & credibility of your work
• It demonstrates that you are engaged in real learning
• With practice it becomes second nature
Why Use Referencing?
• To show you have gathered information from a range of sources
• To demonstrate your ability to evaluate/synthesise information
• To support your argument
• To allow the reader to follow up interesting information and to check the facts for him/herself
• To give credit where it is due
When do you Reference?
We can use other people’s work in a number of ways:•Quoting exact words•Copying figures, tables etc•Paraphrasing in your own words but using their ideas•Summarising their ideasEach time you do this:•Identify the other person’s contribution in the text as a footnote AND in the bibliography at the end
What If You Don’t Reference?
• It is called plagiarism because it is taking someone else’s work and claiming it is your own
• People who plagiarise are losers
• Plagiarism is considered a serious offence, which incurs serious consequences
Tips for managing your Reference sources
• Record the reference information as you research
• Add to the bibliography as you go and avoid this situation
•Format & sort alphabetically by author’s surname at the end
How do you write a Correct Bibliography
• It is placed at the end of the assignment & must include all References you looked at. (Whether you used the information or not)
• It must include these items in this order– Author’s surname followed by initials or first name
– Title (in italics or underlined)
– Place of publication (City)
– Publisher
– Year of publication
