Works Cited

Center the title, and capitalize and spell it correctly

Use a “hanging indent” – indent backwards: one way to do this is to highlight everything and use the little up arrow in the middle (vertically) on the ruler

Notice that this part is double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font just like everything else. It goes on a separate page at the end of the paper. If it’s a short paper, outline, etc., it’s probably OK to put it on the same page to save paper.

Put the entries in alphabetical order (A>>Z) by the first letter of the entry (usually author, but if there’s no author, whatever is first)

Best way I know to make a Works Cited page:

1. Open a word document and write Works Cited at the top.

2. In another window on your screen, create citations for sources you are using, and paste them onto your Works Cited page:

If you are using a database, they will have a button to click that automatically gives you a citation. Be sure to choose MLA, or whichever style your assignment asks for – you may have to scroll down a menu to find it.

If you are not using a source that has a ready-made citation for you, open a new window or tab on your browser and use an online citation generator. Here are two of many choices:

Easy Bib: http://www.easybib.com/

· Paste a url (web address) in the box

· Continue

· Add any other information you have (you might not have any more)

· Copy the citation & paste to your Works Cited page

Knight Cite: https://www.calvin.edu/library/knightcite/

· Choose MLA 7th (or another style if your assignment asks for it)

· Choose the kind of source

· Put all the information you have in the form (often you can’t find all of it), being careful to follow the patterns they give you under the boxes

· Copy the citation & paste to your Works Cited page

After you have all your sources on the page (you can still add more later),

· Highlight everything

· Double space, remove space before/after paragraphs, Times New Roman 12 point font

· Alphabetize A > Z by whatever is first (look up in the middle of the toolbar:

· set the Hanging Indent with the arrow in the middle:

Note: if things still look weird because they don’t want to lose their formatting, try using Format Painter: highlight a word that looks right, click the painter, then paint the format on other words. Caution: you may have to re-italicize words after this.
