Do the references for the questions go along with each individual answer, or can they be number or symbol-linked to a bibliography?
Thank you.

I would suggest you put an abbreviated reference on your tag, or in your answer -- just enough information so that they can readily relate it back to the more complete bibliography.

Think about it this way. If you were reviewing and evaluating the swatches and written responses wouldn't it be easier and faster to have as much information as possible in one place?

I agree with KT. Rather than a number or symbol, I think it would communicate more efficiently to the reader if you wrote something like "M.Stanley, p. 211" (on a tag), or "A. Holladay, 'Those Pesky Yarn Tails', Masters Archives", or "E.Zimmermann, Knitting Without Tears, p. 25". Full publication info can go later, at the end of all.

Thank you both.
There are no references that I can find in my packet about any bibliography other than the already-prepared one available on line, which I have printed out.
Do I interpret what you have writen to mean that I need to generate a separate bibiography listing just those references that I have consulted?
As I am less than a week into this process, I cannot associate screen names with real names, ie. MHK reviewers.
Are your comments personal opinions (which certainly make good sense) or do they carry the weight of rules for submission?
Thank you again.

I'm not a member of the committee and it has been quite some time since I did Level I (and I'm still sitting on Level II.) If your instructions do not require a formal bibliography, then it will not be necessary to do so but it would be an easy way to provide a full reference for the books and articles you have used.

Your original question asked about linking to a bibliography which is why I suggested it would be helpful to provide a short-hand identification of your source in your questions and on your swatches.

I'm not a committee member either, just a student like you whose been through levels 1 and 2 (nearly done with re-submits). Arenda Holladay is on the committee that decides/judges requirements; she regularly reads and comments here under the screen name "buckaroo" or "petipa".

Thanks.
Since you've both sucessfully done Level I, got any good ideas on formatting my report? The content probably won't be a problem.

When I did my level 1 report, I just put the title at the top then spaced down a line, put my name, then spaced spaced down a few lines and started. I didn't center anything, and I didn't indent my paragraphs either. But you can if you want to. I don't believe the committee is so much concerned with how you lay out your report as they are of its contents. Be fancy or be plain, as long as they can read it, it should be fine. I'm sure Arenda will post here and tell you pretty much the same thing.
When I did my tags, I used the kind that had little strings and wrote similarly to what Mt. Mom said. Then you provide a more complete bibliography that has a more complete citation. So if you put "Stanley, Knitter's Handbook, pg 112" on the tag, then in your bibliography (which is not the same as the bibliography on this site) you could write out a full citation. Somewhere on this forum, someone gave me a website that actually helped with that. Use the find button. I know it's buried here somewhere. But when you do the bibliography, you don't need to put page numbers since you had that on your tag anyway.

Monican, I'm not official either. I've passed levels 1 and 2.

I think you should list your references, not just use a symbol to refer the committee to its own bibliography.

Here are a couple of common ways to proceed: You can provide one list somewhere of the full citations (author, title, place of publication, publisher's name, and publication date are customary), and then use just the author's last name and the relevant page number with each question or tag (or in-text reference in the report). Or you can give a full citation for each use. (I think the instrucitons for the report tell you to include references, so this is one place where you have to include the full list of publications you used.)

As for your format, when I read your other post I skipped answering because it seemed like a question for Arenda. But since you asked, I don't think a bulletted outline list constitutes a report. It seems more like a preliminary step in creating a report.
