Works Cited

Below is a link to a sample works cited page. A works cited page is a simple document that provides a list of the sources you used in your paper. The format of the works cited page consists of copying your source cards in their EXACT format onto a word processing document. There are a few
very important things to note about this document.
1. The works cited page should be in alphabetical order by the FIRST WORD OF THE ENTRY. In some cases, that will be the author last name. In others, it may be the title of the article. WHATEVER WORD COMES FIRST ON YOUR SOURCE CARD, THAT IS WHAT SHOULD COME FIRST ON THE WORKS CITED PAGE.
2. The first line of each entry is LEFT JUSTIFIED. The second (and third and fourth and so on, if there are more) OF EACH ENTRY should be indented (by pressing "tab").
3. Do not include the URL (I know it says to, and apparently they have added it back, but we aren't doing that this time).
4. Double space the entire document (no extra lines between sources).
5. Put the words "Works Cited" at the top, centered.
