Adding an MLA Works-Cited Page

A works-cited page alphabetically lists the books and materials you refer to in your report. Double-space the information you include in your works-cited page, indenting the second line of each entry 1/2 inch. Italicize titles of longer works, such as books, plays, music albums, and magazines. (See page 493.)

You will build your works-cited entries by providing the following pieces of information in this order for each source. (Leave out information that doesn’t apply to the source.)

1. Author.

2. Title of source.

3. Title of container,

4. Other contributors,

5. Version,

6. Number,

7. Publisher,

8. Publication date,

9. Location.

Follow each piece of information with the punctuation mark shown above.
