The title of a works cited page is Works Cited. The words are not bold or italicized, and the font size is the same standard one used throughout the paper.

Authors’ names are inverted (last name first); if a work has more than one author, invert only the first author's name, follow it with a comma, then continue listing the rest of the authors. If you have cited more than one work by a particular author, order them alphabetically by title, and use three hyphens in place of the author's name for every entry after the first. When an author appears both as the sole author of a text and as the first author of a group, list solo author entries first.

The title of a works cited page is Works Cited. The words are not bold or italicized, and the font size is the same standard one used throughout the paper.

If no author is given for a particular work, alphabetize by the title of the piece, excluding the articles The, A, and An. (Remember that you use a shortened version of the title for parenthetical citations.)

The first line of each entry in your list should be flush left. Subsequent lines should be indented one-half inch. This is known as a hanging indent.

As you know, MLA style calls for double spacing throughout a paper. That means everything is double-spaced, including all entries on the works cited page. The entries are NOT numbered.

Capitalize each word in the titles of articles, books, etc. This rule does not apply to articles, short prepositions, or conjunctions unless one is the first word of the title or subtitle.

Italicize titles of books, journals, magazines, newspapers, and films. (If the paper is typed, MLA style insists on italics instead of underlining. If you are writing your paper by hand, underline everything that would be italicized if it were typed.)

Use quotation marks around the titles of articles in journals, magazines, and newspapers. Also use quotation marks for the titles of short stories, book chapters, poems, and songs.

Every entry includes the medium for the information (print, Internet, television, CD, radio, e-mail, performance, lecture, DVD, film, etc.)
