Bib+Cards

 

Bib Cards Bib cards are 3x5 or 4x6 cards that are filled with the information the teacher needs to locate your source. You should make a bib card for every source you use. Once you have determined that your are going to use a source, assign it source a number. All of the sources you intend to use should have a source number. Make the bib card using the MLA guide found in the classroom. Below are some samples of bib cards.
