Hi Folks,
Here are the steps we went over in class on Wednesday, the 26th
**First off, your main source for formatting is the packet from the media center, with the sample Works Cited / annotations sheet I gave you. It shows you what an entry for each type of source should look like, and the sample shows you the formatting - alphabetical entries, with the proper indentation and spacing.
This being said, there are some online tools that can help automate the process. The details on using these are below -- but, if you run into a problem with these, the expectation is that you can use your notes and the formatting packet to type up your bibliography... the old fashioned way. Your parents and teachers survived doing it this way -- you can too.
1. Sort your sources. Separate BOOK sources from internet / other sources.
2. Go to bibme: www.bibme.org/
3. Set up a bibme account and begin entering your book sources. Enter them one at a time, searching by title or author. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT EDITION.
4. Once you have entered all your books, select "download" - this will give you a text file you can open in any word processing or google docs.
5. For your other sources, now go to MLA citation maker: old.oslis.org/MLACitations/secondary/index.php and follow the steps there. The opening page spells out the steps very nicely.
**If this isn't working, go here: www.easybib.com/**
6. Once you have entered all your sources and sorted them, hit "copy all."
7. Now, open the document you created with bibme.
8. With it open, go to the bottom book entry. Skip a couple lines and hit 'paste.'
this pastes all the ones you made on MLA citation maker into your bibme bibliography.
9. One at a time, cut and paste your new entries into the bibme list, alphabetically.
**IF you have course handouts, simply type those by hand -- check the handout I gave you on Friday, it gives an example for a course handout and spells out exactly what you need to include.
REMEMBER TO SAVE FREQUENTLY.
ALSO, THE INFORMATION IS ONLY AS ACCURATE AS YOUR NOTES - SPELL NAMES CORRECTLY, MAKE SURE YOUR INFORMATION IS COMPLETE AND GOOD!
