Special Resource: Print Bibliographies
You may be familiar with creating bibliographies for your papers - every good scholarly project includes a bibliography, or list of works and resources referred to in the project, providing an account of where all your information came from. Bibliographies are so useful that sometimes they are created for a subject and published all by themselves, to help scholars locate good sources.
