**Bibliography Years 7 – 9**

In Years 7 to 9, students are expected to use end-text referencing at the end of their assignment to show all references used to prepare the work. They should construct a simple, alphabetical bibliography that includes all sources used; print, non-print and any maps, pictures, tables, graphics, cartoons, etc should also be included.

 In Year 7, it is acceptable for students to present their bibliography as a table, with headings at the top of the columns identifying the type of information placed in the columns. This template shows you how to set out your bibbliography.

In Years 8 and 9 the bibliography should be presented in the standard form as a single alphabetical list of all print and non-print resources.

**Print Resources**

For books, the following information should be included:
 * Author – as listed on the title page
