1. MLA Works Cited
OWL Purdue

2. The Basics
Your Works Cited list goes on a separate page at the end of your paper
The margins all stay the same
The page should be labeled Works Cited – it is not to be underlined, italicized, or put in quotation marks
Citations should be double spaced, but do not skip lines in between entries
Indent the second and subsequent lines of each entry to create a hanging indent

3. Capitalization and Punctuation
Capitalize each word in the titles of articles, books, etc, but do not capitalize articles (the, an), prepositions, or conjunctions unless one is the first word of the title or subtitle: Gone with the Wind, The Art of War, There Is Nothing Left to Lose.
Use italics (instead of underlining) for titles of larger works (books, magazines) and quotation marks for titles of shorter works (poems, articles)

4. Listing Author Names
Entries are listed alphabetically by the author's last name (or, for entire edited collections, editor names). Author names are written last name first; middle names or middle initials follow the first name:
Burke, Kenneth
Levy, David M.
Wallace, David Foster
Do NOT include titles (Dr. , Sir, Saint, etc.) or degrees (PhD, MA, DDS, etc.) but DO include suffixes (Jr., II)

5. Works with No Known Author
These works should be listed alphabetically by their title and should be cited using a shortened form of the title in your paper

6. Resources
Be sure to use these resources when constructing your Works Cited page! You will be expected to do this properly. If you have questions, you should be asking me this week, prior to your paper being due!
If you use one of the citation generators, be sure to check that it is correct. It is not perfect, and it DOES make mistakes. You are still responsible!
