Bibliography: In two subsections, list your Primary Sources and Secondary Works. This must include a minimum of 12 entries, including a minimum of 5 Primary Sources and 5 Secondary Works. Give full bibliographic citations following the Turabian/Chicago guidelines. Secondary Works should be no more than 25 years old. Secondary Works should be scholarly works and should not include reference works (encyclopedias, almanacs, textbooks), book reviews, or commercial web sites (.com). It is perfectly appropriate to use electronic material in your Secondary Works, especially e-books of scholarly books or databases of academic journals, but it must be scholarly and appropriately cited. Websites, web encyclopedias, blogs, wikis, etc., are unacceptable sources.
