AQA History coursework: How to do bibliography?

Hi,

My teacher is being really unhelpfull and i was wondering if anybody could please explain to me how to do the bilbiography for my history coursework?

I understand that with each quote you use you put a number starting from 1 and at the end you list the books to the numbers....but how do you go about putting page numbers? and if you use numerous quotes from the same book do you put the same number down or a different one?

Thanks a lot, i know its a bit of a silly question but ive never had to reference before in my essays and im a bit confused.

Do you have Office 2007? On the new Word, you can actually create a bibliography professionally. How about giving that a go?

Assuming this is the same as OCR then you need to do two things. The first is footnotes (which is where you put the numbers next to the quotes): if you're using MS Word, click at the end of every quote, go to Insert > Reference > Footnote and voila, it puts them at the bottom of the page for you. Footnotes should be roughly in this format:

1 Agnes Strickland, Lives of the Queens of England Vol. 1, p.186

The second thing you need to do is a bibliography at the end which lists all the books you've used in the process of assembling the coursework, even if they were just for some background reading. The format for a bibliography is like this:

Strickland, Agnes, Live of the Queens of England (Volume 1), George Bell & Sons, 1877

(Author with surname first, Title, Publisher, Year)

Books in the bibliography are listed in alphabetical order by author's surname.
