What does et al mean?

Ex:

Tilton, Rita S., et al.  The Electronic Office:  Procedures & Administration.  11th ed.  Cincinnati:  South-Western Publishing Co., 1996

I just had to type this is a class.

In layman's terms it means 'and others' or 'and colleagues' etc... Basically if a team is responsible for something but there is one lead guy then they'll mention him and say "et al." for the rest. You'll see it a lot in academic and scientific references.
