Bibliography is a general term to designate the listing of query sources used in the research of a certain theme for the elaboration of a written work.
The purpose of a bibliography is to document the work, showing that the opinions contained in the work are supported by the consulted sources. The bibliography also refers to the systematic cataloging of works by a specific author or area of knowledge.
The bibliography must appear at the end of the work produced with reference not only to books but also magazines, newspapers, videos, internet sites and any other resource used in the research. Therefore, at the time of research, it is important to note down some fundamental data to make the bibliographic reference.
It is quite common in university courses to have a bibliography that is suggested by the professor, with the aim of helping the student to acquire more knowledge in certain areas.
The bibliographic reference is the identification of each work consulted, generally following the rules appropriate to each case. Norms are defined rules to identify the work. In Brazil, the body responsible for technical standardization is the
ABNT (Brazilian Association of Technical Standards).See too how to make the methodology for the TCC.
