Work+Cited+Entries

The Final page in your paper will be the Works Cited page. At the top of this page, type and center “Works Cited” (do **not** put it in quotations, bold type, or italics). This whole page will be double spaced. Immediately following the title of the page, begin listing your sources alphabetically by the author’s last name. If there is no author, alphabetize according to the first word in that particular entry. The first line of the entry will be aligned at the left. If an entry is more than one line, every line after the first should be indented. The information you will need should be found on the first few pages of the book. If it is an article, all the information should be found in the index or at the beginning or end of the article. When information is missing simply omit it from the entry.
