Bibliography Last page(s) of the paper is the bibliography. It has been renamed Works Cited (because you are going to cite, or quote from, the sources on this page). This is not the same as the annotated bibliography. This is the original twelve-item bibliography that you made before you did the annotated bibliography. <\/p>\n
