Common problems: • What order do I list things in? – Alphabetical (However, other Styles may require other systems and you should consult your manual for more detailed information). • What if I don’t know author/title/other? – Try to find it via catalogs/databases – If unavailable, just leave that section out • What if I have too much information? – Consult your style manual re: editors, editions, translations, etc.
