How to set up a Works Cited page
Title the page this way: Works Cited.
Alphabetize the entries. If an entry does not have an author, place the entry according to the first letter of the title. Words like “the,” “an,” and “a” at the beginning of a title are not considered when alphabetizing. If you are using more than one work by the same author, use ---.in place of the author’s name in second and subsequent entries.
Underline (or italicize) the titles of books, plays, films, magazines, newspapers, entire Web sites, radio and TV shows, book-length poems, ballets and operas, long musical compositions, record albums, and CD’s. Use quotation marks for works that are part of a whole, such as magazine and newspaper articles, encyclopedia entries, a section of a web site, a short story or poem, an episode of a radio or TV show, or a song.
Use angle brackets around a Web address. If the address runs onto the next line, break it after a slash.
Double-space everything on the page, both within the entry and between entries.
Indent one tab (5 spaces) if the entry runs onto the next line.
Do not include sources that you do not actually refer to in the parenthetical documentation within your essay. A list of ten sources, when you’ve actually cited only two in your paper, suggests that you’ve spent far more time on the Works Cited page than you have researching the topic.
Take care to be precise when jotting down information for the Works Cited page. Whoever reads your essay should be able, based on the information you provide, to go directly to your source
