08.3.2  Bibliographies

The bibliography should be entitled a “Bibliography of Sources Cited,” and any work not cited or engaged with in the body of the essay should not appear there. However, students may append a secondary list of “Other Works Consulted,” with discretion used to ensure that works listed there directly pertain to the topic of the essay.

The main differences between the presentation of an entry in a bibliography and a reference appearing in a note is that in the former the author’s surname is placed first, which facilitates the listing of the bibliography in alphabetical order. For other differences see the examples in 08.4 Examples .

Bibliographies should be listed alphabetically (see below), though it is customary to separate primary and secondary documents where relevant. Multiple works by a single author are listed alphabetically by title. There is no need to retype the author’s name; a five en line followed by a full stop will suffice.
