A Chicago style<\/a> bibliography lists the sources cited in your text. Each bibliography entry begins with the author\u2019s name and the title of the source, followed by relevant publication details. The bibliography is alphabetized by authors\u2019 last names.<\/p>\n

A bibliography is not mandatory, but is strongly recommended for all but very short papers. It gives your reader an overview of all your sources in one place. Check with your instructor if you’re not sure whether you need a bibliography.<\/p>\n
