Page Content Print Sources - Works Cited Examples
|
The English Department at Monterey Peninsula College has adopted the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, (available on reserve at the Library Circulation desk) as the authority format for Works Cited lists (bibliographies). According to the 6th edition of the MLA Handbook, the format of the Works Cited list should be constructed as follows:
- The list of works cited appears at the end of the paper.
- The list begins on a new page which is numbered continuing the page numbers of the text. For example, if your paper ends on page 6, the works cited list will begin on page 7.
- The page number should be placed in the upper right-hand corner, half an inch from the top and flush with the right margin.
- Center the title Works Cited, one inch from the top of the page.
- Double space between the title and the first entry.
- Each entry should begin flush with the left margin. If the entry is more than one line, indent the next line or lines one-half inch (or 5 spaces).
- Be sure to alphabetize the list.
