Works Cited
"The Works Cited section of your paper should list all the works that you have cited in your text. Other names for such a listing are Bibliography (literally, "description of books"). Works Cited is more appropriate, since research papers often draw on not only books and articles but also online resources. Below are some basic principles and examples of developing a list of Works Cited, using the MLA style of citing. Additional guidance can be found online at MLA- Frequently Asked Questions. Try Citation Maker by OSLIS to create your citations in the MLA style.
When preparing your final bibliography, alphabetize your sources by the first letter of each entry. If an entry takes more than one line, indent the additional lines five spaces or on-half inch.
