bibliographies: the new prettiness-based strategy

[cimorene]

today there was an optional lecture on how to write academic essays, which i went to in the interest of a) seeing what sldl will be looking for and b) finding out if there were some things swedish-speaking people do completely differently (there are:  citations.  their method is to only kind of have any sort of method at all.  "you can use parentheses around the year, or without the parentheses and use a period instead, and you can write the name out or abbreviate it, and sometimes it says 'editor' after the name of the editor...").  (but that's another post.)

so in my notes i've written:

did he just say you should find your own sources because the bibliography looks prettier if there's more than one book on it?

--which, in fact, i'm pretty sure he did say.  um.
