Bibliographies
A bibliography is a list of references alphabetized by author's last name. If a citation has no author, use the title for alphabetization purposes.
If multiple works have the same author, alphabetize by title. When an author is the sole author of one or more books and a co-author of other books, list the book(s) by the single author before the multi-author book(s).
