@wilbowma I think I've had one teacher in my life who actually taught us how to write a bibliography, and the rest just told us to generate it or expected us to just figure it out

@wilbowma Summary by chatME. There are two purposes to a bibliography. The first is to communicate which article is being cited to the reader. The second is to make it possible for the reader to find the thing being cited.
