Definition: A section of a written work containing citations, not quotations, to all the books referred to in the work.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
Now, you’ve encountered a tricky word – “bibliography.” Let’s break it down nice and slow.
The dictionary's definition is key, you see,
It tells us what this term really means to be.
“A section of a written work…” Think of it like a list,
Where sources that you used are gently kissed
By acknowledgement – a little thank you note,
For the books and articles, afloat!
“…containing citations,” That’s where the detail lies,
Like footnotes or endnotes, before your very eyes.
“Not quotations,” Important to recall,
It's
where
things came from, not what they said for all!
So a bibliography is a list you see,
Of every source that helped you write so free!
It shows where you found your information bright,
And gives credit where it’s truly right.
