Creating Your Bibliography

This is the easiest bibliography maker I've found.  To use these directions, open cavereading.blogspot.com   in two windows.  Leave one on this post and on the other, click on the link below.  Then you can go back and forth between the two to follow the directions.

bibme.orgBibMe - build bibliographies fast

You can use it for our purposes without registering.
You need to register if you want to use all the features, but that's free.  You don't need to register today.


 When you first get to it, you need to click on the orange tab in the center for  "Website."

Website-tabDirections:
  • As you are researching, save the URL for each site you find useful.
  • When you get to the site bibme.org, click on the middle tab marked "website."
  • Copy the URL (in the address bar) for the site you are taking information from.
  • Click on "Load Info."
  • Look on the website you want to use for a sponsor or publisher and date created.  You can often find that information at the bottom of the page.  The sponsor/publisher will not be a company that does web design.   It will often be a company, corporation, or individual. If there is not a current date last updated, you could use the copyright date -- again at the bottom of the page.   
  • Fill in the information you find in the appropriate spaces.
  • Look for an author (writer) of the information.  Add that.
  • Click on Add to My Bibliography.
  • Look in the right hand column for the bibliography entry created for you. Copy that and save it and our Checklist for a Website, and later add it to the last slide of your PowerPoint.
