45 Bibliographies

Unless requested otherwise, include a bibliography at the end of your assignment. The bibliography should begin on a new page and have the same formatting (font and spacing) as the rest of your assignment.

Appendix 7 of NZLSG gives an overview of what a bibliography should include:

“Bibliographies perform a different function to footnotes… A bibliography notes all the sources used in the preparation of a piece, whether they are cited in the footnotes or not.”^[1]

Your bibliography needs to include:

• Every source you have cited in your footnotes (exclude any pinpoint citations in the bibliography);

and

• Every source you used in the preparation of your assignment, whether you cited them in your footnotes or not;
  • This is a way to show your marker how widely you have read and the scope of your reading.
  • It is also a way to demonstrate that you have read key texts, cases or legislation even if you have not cited them within your work.
