Don't footnotes appear in the footer of the page being referenced and the bibliography is a complete listing at the end?

Footnotes show the source of a quote you use in the paper a bibliography lists all books etc you used while writing the paper.



MstrPBK -> RE: friggin sources!! (10/1/2009 4:25:47 PM)

There ought to be one foot not for each reference you cited .. even if it is a "ibid'. Footnotes vary in structure depending on where the materials were cited from (be careful about that).

Nice page with references to explanation and how-tos for both bibliographies and footnotes.

So do I [:(][:(][:(]

In my last essay in my 2nd year I had one marker making comments in my essay "what is that"....kind of "that is not a reference what you are trying to make here."

Gosh I hate that stuff and just hope to finish uni for good now next spring....

Yep, and don't put numbers in front of your listing in your bibliography...thought that might be different in the US but I was told not to put 1. 2. 3. etc. in front of them...



subtlebutterfly -> RE: friggin sources!! (10/1/2009 4:44:20 PM)

Thanks so much[:)] I think I'm figuring it out..
