Important note(s): 1. This Bibliography GR ORG (graphic organizer) follows the most basic of MLA format; for upper level (high school/ college) research, PLEASE use the MLA Handbook!!! 2. USE both blank/ typed charts to do bibliographical info’ correctly on your bibliography cards (red tops with reverse/ hanging indention) and your Works Cited page to “cover your tracks;” these Bibliography Cards will cover the note cards made from each source until an alphabetized number is placed on the card at a later point in the research project.
