Working Bibliography/Works Cited

 

  1. Alphabetize entries according to the author’s last name.  If no author is given, use the first word in the title other than “A,” “An,” or “The.”

 

  1. All sources cited in the paper must be listed on the Works Cited page.  Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism and will result in failure for the paper.

 

  1. The Works Cited should not include any sources not used in the paper.

    4. Do NOT put the title in quotation marks or underline it.
    5. Double-space after the title and begin listing the sources in alphabetical order.  (To set the computer to automatically double-space at this point:  Go to “Format” on the tool bar.  From the pulldown menu, choose “Paragraph.”  In the pop-up box click in the box under “Line Spacing” and choose “Double.”  From this point on, your paper will be double-spaced.)
    6. Type the first line of each entry flush with the left margin, but indent five spaces for successive lines within the entry.
    7. Return to the left margin for the next entry.
    8. Double-space each entry and double-space between each entry.
