The Bibliography Assignment is intended to get you into the library sooner rather than later to begin research for your paper required for this class.
Keep in mind that you do not actually need to have the book or print source in hand, you simply need to record the pertinent information in MLA format for the book/ print source and for my class, also include the call number and location (ie what library) where the book/ print source resides so that you may locate it quickly when you are ready to start your research. Include the call number and location on a separate line just below relevant citation.
Remember you need a minimum of 4 print sources to turn in.
Note: MLA requires that double spacing is used between entries as well as within entries. Each entry uses hanging indention--the first line begins at the left margin, and each succeeding line indents 5 spaces from the left margin. (I will not be a stickler about that)
You will find all this information conveniently located on the SMCC Library website as well.
