  2. Works Cited Entries • A Works Cited Page is composed of Works Cited Entries, commonly called bibliographic entries. There are dozens of different types of sources, and there is an MLA work cited format for each one. • The most common formats are those for: • A book with one author • A book with two authors • A book with an editor • An article from an online periodical (journals and magazines) • An internet site

  3. A Book with One Author For example:(sample)Last, First. Book Title. City: Publisher, Year. (example)Gilligan, Carol. In a Different Voice. Cambridge: Harvard Press, 1982.

  4. A Book with Two+ Authors The basic format for a book with two authors is nearly identical to one with one author. You just need to add the second author’s name, but this time the second author goes First Name first, Last Name Last. For example:(sample)Last, First and First Last. Book Title. City: Publisher, Year.(example)Embry, Carol and Joseph Addison. The lives of theEighteenth Century Satirists. London: Penguin, 1796. *Notice that when a citation does not fit on one line, the next line starts 5 spaces in from the first line.

  5. A Book with an Editor (or two!) For example: (sample)Last, First, ed. Book Title. City: Publisher, Year. (example)Bloom, Harold, ed. Shakespeare’s Baudy. Stratford- upon-Avon: Globe Press, 1996.

  6. An Article from an online database magazine For example:(sample)Last, First. “Article Title.” Name of Mag. Date of publication: page numbers. Name of database. Vendor. Date Visited<site address of database>. (example)Khan, John. “The Chinese Theatre.” Journal ofDrama Studies June 2003: 145-68. Proquest. Gale Learning. 2 May 2011 <www.aclibrary.org>.

  7. An Internet Site For example: (sample)Last, First. “Title of page.” Title of home page. Date written or posted (day month, year). Date visited <site address of title page>. (example) Smith, Mary. “Science in America.” United States Science. 3 May 2010 <http://spaceflight.usa.gov/spacenews.html>. *Because webpages are unregulated, there is a great degree of variation on whether it will have all these pieces of information. If your site does not, skip that piece and move on to the next one.

  8. In-Text Citations - How Often to Give Citations • When several facts in a row within one paragraph all come from the same page of a source, use one citation to cover them all. Place the citation after the last fact. • The citation MUSTbe in the same paragraph as the facts!

  9. Works Cited • List only those sources that you actually used • List the complete title of the article, essay, or book • Alphabetize your listby authors’ last names or the first main word in a title • Online sourcesusually follow the print format followed by the URL <URL>. (journals, newspapers, magazines, abstracts, books, reviews, scholarly projects or databases, etc.) • Format – • Author’s last name first • Double-space • Left Margin • Indent second and third lines five spaces • Most item separated by periods – leave one space after ending punctuation. • Place a period at the end of each entry.
