<h2>Bibliographies</h2>
<p>Bibliographies are excellent tools that can help you find
other material on your research topic. According to
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, a bibliography is "the works or a
list of the works referred to in a text or consulted by the
author in its production." By using the bibliography listed at
the back of a book or the end of a journal article, you can
locate the original resources the author used in researching
the topic.</p>
