Bedford Bibliographer

Date August 30, 2007

BedfordIf you didn’t notice the mentioning of the Bedford Bibliographer in the Week 2 folder this week, then you missed out on a very valuable tool that you will need this semester. BB is not required, but will be very helpful in helping you maintain a list of all of your sources during the research process. We call this your working bibliography. I created a screencast to show you how to register and how it works in case you choose to use this tool:

If you don’t want to use it, you can always maintain your working bibliography the old fashioned way - use your textbook.

Here is the information from Blackboard on Bedford Bibliographer:
One of the most difficult parts of the research process is recording and organizing information about sources. Now there’s help from the Bedford Bibliographer!

This easy-to-use Web-based application from the author of The Bedford Researcher assists students with the process of collecting sources, and generates bibliographies in MLA, APA, CSE, and Chicago Styles.

Using the Bedford Bibliographer, students create virtual source cards on which they can record bibliographic information, write annotations, evaluate sources, and even save text from electronic sources such as news articles that might be changed or removed.
