Works  Cited  (MLA)

Key points to remember when doing a works cited page:

• Works Cited must be on a separate page

• Always underline or italicize the title of the source if it is a book. Put quotes
  around an article or poem.

• Alphabetize by the author's last name.

• If there is no author, alphabetize by title.

• Always indent all lines after the first line (5 spaces, 1 tab).

• Always leave 1 space after commas and 2 spaces after periods and colons.
