Biblography

Eddie discussed Biblography with us and how to write it in the correct manner; Eddie also showed us a programme called "zetero" which helps you keep track of books, journals or websites in the form of a biblography.

Eddie also made and showed us a game which helps with learning the correct way to write a biblography; which was very helpful and informative, the game had various pieces of information for the book, journal or website; which you then placed on the line and it told you if you were correct or wrong.

In a book reference entry it contains the following : -
  • author or author's (surname, author(s) first name or initials)
  • title (underlined)
  • publisher (place of publication)
  • date of publication ( in brackets)

In a Encyclopedia or Article it contains the following :-
  • Title of the Encyclopedia or Artical
  • Date of publication (in brackets)
  • Title of Encyclopedia or Article
  • Volume
  • Publisher and place of publication
  • page number
Contributions to books : -
  • Author surname, initial(s) (contributing authors)
  • Title of the Book or Article (with inverted commas)
  • Editor surname, initial(s) (contributing editors)
  • Year of publication
  • Full title of the work contained (in italics to indicate the title)
  • City of publication (publisher, pages of there contribution)
Here are my attempts of trying to bibliography :-
