How to do a Works Consulted

1. How to do a Works Consulted Objective: Today you will learn how to put together a works consulted and complete yours.

2. Works Consulted • Can be called a Bibliography, Works Cited, or Works Consulted. • Bibliography = list of books • Works Cited = Works you used • Works Consulted = All works you looked at, even if you don’t end up using them all.

3. Order • You must put your sources in alphabetical order, by the author’s last name. • If there is no author, start with the name of the article in quotation marks. (Use this for Internet sources, encyclopedia articles, or magazine articles without an author.)

4. Format • Use MLA Format • Times New Roman, size 12 • Double Spacing • Hanging indent • Follow directions on source cards, with exact same punctuation.

5. Book Source Gonzalez, Omar. Life of the Aztecs. New York: DK Publishing, 1996. • When you use a quote from this book, it will look like this: In the time of the Aztecs, “boys prepared to be warriors from a young age” (Gonzalez 35).

6. Periodical Source Quan, Mayli. “Women of War.” History June 2006: 34-36. • This is a magazine. A newspaper would be done the same way. A quote from this article would look like this: During the war many women were “driven to work by the loyalty to the men over seas and the need for income” (Quan 34).

7. Internet Source “People & Events: The Zoot Suit Riots of 1943.” PBS Online. 1999-2001. Public Broadcasting Service. 31 Aug. 2008 <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/zoot/eng_peopleevents/e_riots.html>. In your paper: The PBS article, “The Zoot Suit Riots of 1943” states, “The zoot suit was one part of the jazz world that visually defied the norms of segregation.”

8. Database Source Buckley, William. "Lessons from Dr. King." National Review. 44 (9 Dec. 1983): 1572. Student Research Center. Ebsco. Ramona High School, Riverside, CA. 27 Oct. 2008 <http://find.galegroup.com/srcx/>. It looks like this when you use it: Buckley writes, “Many look to King as the father of Civil Rights” (1572).

9. Putting it together • Look at the first word of each entry. • In our examples we have: Gonzalez, Quan, People, and Buckley. • Alphabatize the entries. • They would be written with Buckley first, then Gonzalez, People, and last Quan. • Write out the whole entry, paying careful attention to puntuation and format.

10. Try it Out • Use the source cards to get the information for five different sources. 1. Book 2. Magazine 3. Newspaper 4. Internet 5. Database • Put the source cards in alphabetical order. • Write a Works Consulted using your source cards.
