How to write a Bibliography

Just over a week ago we had a lecture in which we learnt how to write a bibliography, so here are the toy examples of a reference I mopped up using books we got from the UCS libary.


Entry to a book
  • Sloan, D, (2011) Playing to Wiin, Singapore, John Wiley ans sons.

Contribution to a book
  • Hitchcock, A. (1963) "Alfred Hitchcock's The birds, a comparison", in Whalen, Z and Taylor, L, N. (eds) Playing the past, History and nostalgia in video games. Nashville, Vanderbilt University Press. 

Journal entry
  • Roensch, G. 2006, "The Game's the Thing: Working at Electronic Arts", Intercom, vol. 53, Issue. 9, pp. 44.

  1. Hi Charlie,

    I see the bibliography is starting to take shape, but remember the convention is to cite the city of publication rather than the country, state, etc.

    Looking at the contents page of Whalen & Taylor's Playing The Past, I can't see a contribution with The Birds in the title -- if there were such a contribution, it wouldn't be by Alfred Hitchcock -- so it might be an idea to double-check this item and amend accordingly.

    Also, don't forget to update your bibliography with a journal entry located with the Summon search tool.
