How to Do a Bibliography on Powerpoint
Giving credit where credit is due takes many forms, from footnotes to works cited pages to thank-you notes on the insides of book pages. Another way to share a list of the materials that helped you create your final product is a bibliography. Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create a bibliography, relying on The Associated Press' stylistic guidelines to help you wade through what goes where and how to punctuate.
