Footnotes are usually presented in smaller print than the dominant text, and they are used for a variety of purposes. The “foot” in “footnote” refers to the fact that the notation is located in the “footer” or “bottom” of the document. A similar concept is the endnote, a note which is provided at the end of a document, rather than at the bottom of a specific page.<br />When a text has footnotes, they are indicated with various symbols or superscript numbers. The asterisk symbol, *, is a common symbol for footnotes, but a variety of symbols including daggers, †, may be used. In a text with a lot of footnotes, numbers are usually used to indicate footnotes, so that the reader can keep track of what is going on. Endnotes are typically indicated with numbers, to make it easier for people to look them up.<br />Different style manuals have different rules about using footnotes, and it is important to follow style guidelines when submitting material for publication. Because footnoting can get very complicated, most style guidelines devote at least a few pages to the footnote. Some people avoid using footnotes at all, while others relish footnotes, because footnotes provide a great degree of freedom when they are used well.<br />BIBLIOGRAPHY<br />A bibliography is a list of books, articles, and other sources you use when researching a topic and writing a paper. The bibliography will appear at the end of your paper.<br />The bibliography is sometimes called Works Cited or Works Consulted.<br />A bibliography is a summary of all your references in an alphabetical list (surnames first).<br />Bibliography entries must be written in a very specific format, but that format will depend you the particular style of writing you use. Your teacher will tell you which style to use, and for most school papers these will be either MLA, APA, or Turabian style.<br />Bibliography entries will include:<br />Author<br />Title of your source<br />Publication information<br />Date<br />Your entries should be listed in alphabetical order.<br />The main purpose of a bibliography entry is to give credit to other authors whose work you've consulted in your research. Another purpose of a bibliography is to make it easy for a curious reader to find the source you've used.<br />Bibliography entries are usually written in a hanging indent style. This means that the first line of each citation is not indented, but subsequent lines of each citation are indented.<br />MLA (Modern Language Association)<br />APA (American Psycholigical Association<br />Turabian style<br />
