At Melbourne High School, we recommend the APA referencing style.
APA style is an author-date citation style.

Everything you know about how to create a bibliography is here in this guide.

OR skip to the following for:

• Books
• Website

Don't forget to collect your information while you have the book or website!

At the time of reading a source, record all of the bibliographic information (descriptive elements) necessary to create a citation. You can either use referencing software or record manually. It is vital to be accurate and clear at this stage to save time later on. 

The information you should record:

• Author(s)/editor(s).
• Title.
• Edition (1st, 2nd, reprint ed. revised ed. etc.).
• Page numbers for direct quotations (optional for secondary school)
• Place of publication.
• Publisher.
• Date of publication.
• Web address if online resources and Date Accessed.
