the sources that you used.

A bibliography (also called a "refererence list" or "works
cited") is a list of sources you cite in your paper. Style manuals give oyu direction
on how to site oyur sources. Style manuals can be very general (Turabian), or subject
specific (APA-American Psychological Association). Your instructor may require that you
use a specific style manual. If none is required, ask your instructor for their
preference. All example given in this site, follow the Turbian A Manual for
