Building a Works Cited List MLA - Seneca College
Building a Works Cited List ¨C MLA
Your Works Cited list is how you document all of the articles, books, and websites that you
used in your research. You may have heard it called a bibliography. These lists are fussy and
take time but here are 7 tips to help you do a great Works Cited list.
1. USE A GUIDE! Guides list the rules for citation and show examples. Seneca has a free
online MLA guide you can use at
2. Remember in-text citation - If something is on your Works Cited list, it should also appear
somewhere earlier in your assignment as an in-text citation. An in-text citation usually
follows a quote, fact, or idea. It looks like this (Dworkin 3).
3. Format - Look at the example below of a citation for a magazine article. See all the
quotes and commas and italics? Those need to be in the right place and it changes
depending on what you¡¯re citing so think back to tip #1. USE A GUIDE!
Dworkin, Ronald W. ¡°Science, Faith and Alternative Medicine.¡± Policy Review, vol. 108,
no. 2, 2001, pp. 3-19. Academic Search Premier.
4. New Page - Start your Works Cited list on a new page at the end of your assignment,
with the words Works Cited centered at the top
5. Alphabetical Order - Organize your list in alphabetical order by the first word of the
citation. Usually that¡¯s the author¡¯s last name.
6. Hanging Indent - If a citation is more than one line, every line but the first is indented.
This is called a ¡°hanging indent¡±. You can set this up automatically in Microsoft Word.
Just highlight the citation, right click paragraph and select hanging.
7. Double Spaced - Don¡¯t forget to double space the entire list.
8. Bonus Tip - The Libraries¡¯ online MLA guide has a word document that you can
download that is already formatted to MLA style.
