Works Cited format

http://www.lvcsd.k12.ny.us/uploaded/Library_Media/Research_Guide_2007-2008_ed_7_formatted.pdf pages 41-44

The WORKS CITED at the end of the paper (WORKS CONSULTED must be included with other forms of research presentations) lists all the sources of information used in preparing the paper. Center the title, Works Cited, at the top of the page with one-inch margins all around. List all sources, regardless of type, in alphabetical order by the author’s last name or the first significant word in the title if there is no author. The list should be formatted exactly as shown below, including the indentation of all lines following the first line of each entry. DO NOT use bullets or numbers!

Bibliography vs. Works Cited

Depending on your purpose, you may create one of three different lists of sources: a working bibliography, a list of works cited, or a bibliography.

No matter what type of source list you create, your bibliography citations will always be written in the same MLA format. See the section MLA Format for Bibliography Entries for the format for each source.

A working bibliography is the list of books, magazines, and other sources you collect as you conduct your library research. Usually you list these intended sources on individual index cards or in your notes, including all the information you will later need to make your list of works cited. See the section Bibliography Cards for more information. Also include the call number of each book and the library where you find each source.

The list of works cited gives only the sources you have actually cited in your paper. Unlike a bibliography, it does not include the sources you may have consulted but did not actually include directly in your paper. Type your list of works cited on a separate page at the end of your paper.

A bibliography is a separate alphabetical list of all the sources you considered in preparing a research project. Some teachers may ask for both a works cited page and bibliography. (By high school, most teachers will require just a works cited listing.) A bibliography appears on a separate page at the end of your paper after the works cited page, if included. Bibliographies are often published as resources detailing where you can find more information on a given subject.
