\item Write some text and reference each of the labels you just added
\end{itemize}

\section{Bibliographies}
\begin{itemize}
\item Create a .bib file (you can export from a reference manager or create one from scratch)
\item Include the bibliography in your .tex file
\item Cite some of the bibliography entries in your document
\end{itemize}
