  1. Bibliographies and Works Cited Lists

  2. What’s the Difference? • A Bibliography lists all the sources consulted in research for a specific essay. • A Preliminary Bibliography or Working Bibliography lists all the sources the writer thinks s/he will be using in the essay • A Works Cited lists all the works actually cited in the text of the essay. • Both a Bibliography and Works Cited list are formatted in the same way.

  3. Overall Format • The title -- Bibliography or Works Cited -- is centered at the top of the page. It is not underlined, italicized or quoted. It should be the same font size as the rest of the citations. • The citation list is double-spaced throughout. • The citation list is alphabetized. • If there is no author, the citation begins with the title of the work – quoted if an article or poem, underlined or italicized if a book. • The first line of each citation is at the margin; subsequent lines should be indented about ten spaces.
