The purpose of a bibliography (also called "references" or "works cited") is to list the resources you used to write your paper. The main criteria for bibliographic entries are that they:
A typical entry in a bibliography, in this case for a journal article, looks like this:
Bergmann, G., & Spence, K. (1944). The logic of psychophysical measurement. The Psychological Review, 51, 1-24.
When citing materials from the Internet it is important to include both the address and the date it was accessed in case it has since disappeared, moved, or been substantially altered. A citation for an online resource looks like this:
Cable News Network. (2003, June 13). Oscar winner Gregory Peck dies at 87. Retrieved June 21, 2003, from <http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Movies/06/12/obit.peck/>.
Library materials obtained from online full-text databases do not need to be cited as websites -- they should be cited as a journal article, book chapter, etc.
For more information on citation styles, including samples, please see the UWM Libraries guide What citation style should I use?
RefWorks and EndNote Web may also be used to manage and format citations.
