The Works Consulted Page

Why do You Need one? To give credit to the sources that offered you information and direction. So teachers and others who read your paper can look up your sources.

How do you cite books? Last name, First name. Book Title (Underlined). Place Published: Publisher, Year Published. (Indent the second line) For Example: Pendleton, Maureen. How I Became President. New York: United Press, 2007.

How do I cite articles? If only an editor is listed: “Title of Article.” Name of Editor (Ed). Title of Book. Place: Publisher, Year. For example: “Washington, George.” Encyclopedia Britannica. Geoffrey Wigoder (Ed). Winston-Salem, NC: University Press, Last name of author, First name (if given). “Title of Article.” Title of book. Place Published: Publisher, Year published.

How do I cite for the Internet? “Title of Article.” Person or Organization Responsible for the Site. Date last updated. Exact Web Address. For Example: “The History of Magic.” Carroll Magical IV. November magicisfake.com/

Now use the source information on your source cards to create a rough copy of your Works Consulted Page. Hand this in with your outlines tomorrow so I can look it over for you. If you are missing ANY source information, you must look it up today. You must list every source that you plan to use in your paper. If you use information from a source in the paper and do not include it on your Works Consulted page, that is technically plagiarism. If you include a source on your Works Consulted page, it MUST appear in your paper.
