Transcription

1 Page Set-Up Criteria for the MLA Works Cited A B C D E F G H I J K L M N List entries alphabetically by author s last name, followed by the author s first name(s). If author s last name is not available, alphabetize by first letter of first word of title of work. Alphabetize titles beginning with A, An, or The by the first letter of the second word of the title. To cite two or more works by the same author, give the name in the first entry only. Thereafter, in place of the name, type 3 hyphens, followed by a period and the title. Italicize the title of each whole work (resource). Enclose within quotation marks a title of an article, chapter, section, (etc.) contained within a larger work. (e.g. Chapter One. Alice in Wonderland.) Give your list of resources the following centred title: Works Cited (Do not use boldface or underlining for this title) Word process the Works Cited on a clean (no other information) 8-1/2 X11 sheet of unlined paper. Be sure to record all required information accurately, in the correct order & format, with correct punctuation (commas, periods, colons, capitalization), and with correct use of italics and spacing. Information requirements differ for each resource type, so choose from the correct model (sample) citation below for each resource you are citing, e.g. 1a for Book with a Single Author. Spacing: Leave 2 spaces after a period or full colon. Leave 1 space after a comma. Do not centre-justify the text. For a citation longer than 1 line, create a hanging indent (approx. 5 spaces) for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. lines. To create a hanging indent in MS Word, highlight the citation, go to: Format Paragraph Indents and Spacing Indentation from drop-down menu choose: Hanging Single-space within citations. Double space between citations. Show access dates (date you found or used information) for all online resources. Do not number the citations, 1, 2, 3, etc. Do not use subheadings (Books, Magazines, Webpages) to classify resource types. URLs (Internet addresses) must be in the same font size, style, and colour as the rest of the citation. Remove hyperlinks. For in-text citation (embedded or parenthetical reference within the body of an essay or report) use as a guide the example shown in brackets next to each resource heading. Remember, both paraphrased and quoted material must be cited BOTH in the body of the paper and in the Works Cited (which appears after the last page of the essay or report). To the right of each citation in the Works Cited, type (in red font) the number of the model citation you followed (egs, 1a, 6b). MODEL CITATIONS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESOURCES 1.
