IMS Library Webpage http://www.northallegheny.org/schools/Ims/Default.htm  kids use to make their citations. 

It is now called Works Cited and not Bibliography.  When kids list each of the resources, they should be in ABC order and each one needs to have a hanging indent on each citation that runs over 1 line long.  They should never number their citations.  See example below: 

 

Macaulay, David. Pyramid. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1975.
