  1. List of Works Cited According to MLA Style Guidelines

  2. Preparing the list of works cited • Begin the list of works cited on a new page at the end of the paper. • Center the title Works Cited about one inch from the top of the page. • Double-space throughout.

  3. ALPHABETIZING THE LIST • Alphabetize the list by the last names of the authors (or editors); if a work has no author or editor, alphabetize by the first word of the title other than A, An, or The.

  4. INDENTING • Do not indent the first line of each works cited entry, but indent any additional lines one-half inch. • This technique highlights the names of the authors, making it easy for readers to scan the alphabetized list.

  5. WEB ADDRESSES • Do not insert a hyphen when dividing a Web address (URL) at the end of a line; break the line after a slash. • Insert angle brackets around the URL. • If your word processing program automatically turns Web addresses into hot links (by underlining them and highlighting them in color), turn off this feature.

  6. Formatting entries in the list • AN ENTIRE WEB SITE • Begin with the name of the author or corporate author (if known) and the title of the site, underlined. Then give the names of any editors, the date of publication or last update, the name of any sponsoring organization, the date you accessed the source, and the URL in angle brackets. Provide as much of this information as is available.
