Center the
words "Works
Cited" at the top of the page. Double
space between works only. Use a
hanging indent of .5" (1.27 cm).
Alphabetize by author's
last name.
Incidentally, knowing how to do the actual citations is a good idea, too:
To cite a direct quote in-text: "Quote" (Authorslastname PAGENUMBER).
For example:
"Maybe we should just have skipped from 1967 to 1969" (Barry 128).
To cite a paraphrase:
Paraphrase (Authorslastname PAGENUMBER).
For example:
1967 sucked (Barry 128).
On the Works Cited page:
Authorslastname, Authorsfirstname. Title of Work. City: Publisher, DATE.
For example:
Barry, Dave. Dave Barry Turns 50. New York: Ballantine, 1998.
There are a hell of a lot of rules for books with no authors, two authors, editors, magazines, websites, etc. I'm not going to put them all here.
Authorslastname, Authorsfirstname. "Title of page". <url> (Date you went there).
The author's name is omitted if not given--alphabetize by title. For example:
"Welcome to Everything@Everything2.com." <http://www.everything2.com> (Jan 1, 2001).
For a magazine:
Authorsfirstname, Authorslastname. "Title of Article." Magazine, Date, PAGES.
For example:
Tarpy, Cliff. "Danube River." National Geographic, March 2002, 62-79.
For these examples, the Works Cited page will look something like this:
Works Cited
Barry, Dave. Dave Barry Turns 50. New York: Ballantine, 1998.
Tarpy, Cliff. "Danube River." National Geographic, March 2002, 62-79
"Welcome to Everything@Everything2.com." <http://www.everything2.com> (Jan 1, 2001).
I'd pay good money to see the report that went with that!
