1 Preparing a Bibliography Using MLA Guidelines West Windsor-Plainsboro High School Library Media Center
2 Preparing the List of Works Cited The list of Works Cited is your bibliography a list of sources used in writing your research paper. It appears at the end of the paper, is double-spaced within and between sources, and is usually arranged alphabetically by the author s last name. Sources without authors are arranged alphabetically by title within the same list (ignoring initial A, An, or The when it is the first word in the title). The first line of each source is flush with the left margin; second and succeeding lines are indented one-half inch. BOOKS BOOK BY ONE AUTHOR Kissinger, Henry. White House Years. Boston: Little, Brown, BOOK BY TWO AUTHORS Emmerson, John K., and Harrison M. Holland. The Eagle and the Rising Sun: America and Japan in the Twentieth Century. Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, If there are two authors, retain the comma before and (e.g., Lyons, Janet, and Sandra Jordan). Authors names are listed in the order in which they appear on the title page. Only the first author is listed last name first. BOOK BY THREE OR MORE AUTHORS Boffey, Philip M., et al. Claiming the Heavens: Complete Guide to the Star War Debate. New York: Times, BOOK WITH NO AUTHOR OR EDITOR Managing Stress from Morning to Night.

Ed. Patricia J. Campbell. Rev. ed. Twayne s United States Authors Series. Boston: Twayne, Lanson, Gustave. Moliere and Farce. Moliere: A Collection of Critical Essays. Ed. Jacques Guicharnaud.

The book has an editor; in addition, it is one of a series. INTRODUCTION, PREFACE, FOREWORD, OR AFTERWORD Use this formation when you want to cite the words from someone other than the author or the editor and include the page numbers. Slaff, Dr. Hertram. Foreword. What Happens in Therapy? By Sara Gilbert. New York: Lothrop, BOOK HAVING A TITLE WITHIN A TITLE Lorry, Harris, ed. Interpretations of a A Rose for Emily.

4 Thoreau, Henry David. Winter Walks. Works of Henry David Thoreau.

MULTIVOLUME WORKS SAME TITLE, ONE AUTHOR OR EDITOR Bleiler, E.F., ed. Supernatural Fiction Writers: Fantasy and Horror. 2 vols. New York: Scribner, Vol. 2.

9 DOCUMENTING YOUR SOURCES USING PARENTHETICAL DOCUMENTATION The MLA now recommends that, instead of using footnotes or endnotes, you document your sources by putting short citations in parentheses in the body of the paper. These citations refer to the Works Cited list at the end of the paper. They provide just enough information to enable the reader to find the work cited in that list without any possibility of confusion. When your Works Cited list contains only one work by the author you are citing, your citation in the body of the paper will give only the author s last name and the page number, e.g., Mayne Reid s 1856 novel, The Quadroon, formed the basis of Dion Boucicault s play, The Octaroon (Hart 621). When the author s name is mentioned in the text of your paper, it is only necessary to cite the page number in parentheses, e.g., Flannigan recommends having students tutor their fellow students in reading skills (141). When the Works Cited list contains two or more works by the same author, you must give both the author s name and the title of the work you are citing (or a shortened version of it) in your parenthetical citation, e.g., The rate of scientific discovery has increased exponentially in this century (Bazell, Science, 13). When a work is listed in the Works Cited list under title, the citation in parentheses in the text should give the title, or a shortened form of it which begins with the word under which the title is alphabetized in the Works Cited list, e.g., The brooding light of the Italian landscape and Helena Bonham Carter s own dark, brooding eyes mirror the unconscious, inarticulate passion that grips all of the characters (Room). If you have questions about citation format that are not answered in this handout, please ask for the MLA Handbook at the Reference Desk. A reference librarian will be happy to help you..
