General Guidelines for Bibliography
Label this section Bibliography.
Alphabetize the bibliography by author.
First author format: Last name, First name. Subsequent author format: First name Last
name.
Editor format:
o If the editor starts the entry, use the same format as authors.
o If the editor is in the middle of the entry (i.e. edited by), write names in the
first name last name format.
No author or editor: Move the title to the authors position, and alphabetize by first
major word in title.
Bibliography entries are indented on the second line and all subsequent lines (hanging
indent format).
Single-space the entry if it has more than one line, and put a blank line before the next
entry.
Publisher name: and vs. &: Chicago allows for either option; be consistent
throughout.
Publisher location: If a city is well known (e.g. New York), leave out the state/province
code. If a city is less known (e.g. Kitchener), include the state/province code.
Note: Grey shaded elements in the formats below must be included in the entry exactly as
written.
