A Bibliography is the list of resources you used for your assignment.
Every assignment should include a bibliography to show all the sources of information you gathered in research. Information may have come from printed data, illustrations, cartoons, maps or even ideas. Sources such as books, videos, CD-Roms, magazines, newspapers, internet etc. must be acknowledged in a list of resources at the end of your assignment.
