Bibliography how are you necessary?

Using what I was taught last week, I attempted to use Zotero (a source program) to write a basic bibliography to help with notes and quotes. After firefox disagreeing with my customised operating system, and nuking it at least 20 times we decided that it was best off doing it the old fashioned way.


Through using bibliographies, students can take notes on specific pages, areas and paragraphs with ease. The traditional method of writing something down to remember it has now become a computerised masterpiece as examiners alike have now been able to see where the students have taken notes and quotes from without trekking through the books for specific parts. A few examples and descriptions are explained below.


Paper based research


Books - When citing from a book it should be explained as follows.
1. The surname of the Author/Editor.
2. The Initial of said creator.
3. The year in which it was published.
4. The full title of the book. (Underlined or in italics to show its the title)
5. Finally, The publisher and city of where it was published.


Magazine or journal entry
1. The surname of whoever created the entry.
2. The initial of said creator.
3. Any other authors necessary to the publication.
4. The year of publication.
5. The full title of said article.
6. The season of printing necessary to the articles release date.


Contribution to a book
1 - 4 the same as ever
5 - The In editors surname
6 - In editors initial
7 - Full title of containing work. (Italics)
8 - City of publication.
9 - Publisher.
10 - The scan of the extract.


Video related material


TV Programmes
1. Episode title
2. Name of the series
3. Year
4. Channel
5. Date


Alternatively if the episode is online, A citation could be made the same way with a link and the 00:00 of where it is.


Now comes the tricky part, I'll be adding up to 6 references into the next part from mixed media.
