== =What is a Bibliography?=

A bibliography a list of information resources used to write a research paper.

When you write your research report, it is important that you say where your information came from. This is done in the text of your paper (citations) and at the end of your paper in a reference section (bibliography). There are many different ways to show where you got your information from. If you use a quotation or simply borrow some ideas from an article or book, you __must__ give credit to the researchers whose work you are using to write your report. Failure to do this is called __plagiarism__ which is considered to be like stealing other people's words and ideas. This will get you in trouble at the college or university!

So make sure you follow the proper guidelines (ask your professor what style your paper should use for references and citations) and give credit to the right people in your bibliography!
