include a bibliography, make sure that your notes present complete information for eachsource, at least the first time you cite it.16.2.1 Types of BibliographiesIn most cases, your bibliography should include every work you cite in your text (other than afew special types of sources; see 16.2.3). You may also include works that were important toyour thinking but that you did not specifically mention in the text. Label this kindBibliography or Sources Consulted. See figure A.15 in the appendix for a sample page of abibliography.There are other options:Selected bibliography. Some bibliographies do not include all works cited in notes, eitherto save space or omit minor references unlikely to interest readers. You may use a selectedbibliography if you have good reasons and your instructor or advisor approves. Label itSelected Bibliography and add a headnote that explains your principle of selection.Single-author bibliography. Some writers list works by one person, usually as a separatelist in addition to a standard bibliography, but sometimes as the only bibliography in asingle-author study with few other sources. Label such a list Works of [Author's Name] orsome appropriate descriptive title (Published Works of, Writings of, and so on). You canarrange it chronologically or alphabetically by title.

But researchers sometimes annotate onlythe most important works or those whose relevance to their research may not be evident. Ifyour annotations are brief phrases, add them in brackets after the publication data (notethat there is no period within or after the bracketed entry):B: Toulmin, Stephen. The Uses of Argument.

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1958.This is the seminal text in describing the structure of an argument in nonsymbolic language.16.2.2 Arrangement of EntriesALPHABETICAL BY AUTHOR. A bibliography is normally a single list of all sources arrangedalphabetically by the last name of the author, editor, or whoever is first in each entry. (Foralphabetizing foreign names, compound names, and other special cases, see 17.1.1.) Mostword processors provide an alphabetical sorting function; if you use it, be sure each entry isfollowed by a hard return. If you are writing a thesis or dissertation, your department or
