Works Cited Format

Annotated Bibliography Format

Use the guidelines from Purdue for format information for books, journals, etc.

I have included a web page sample; be sure to read the notes about the limitations of the sample, but at least you will get an idea of what the page would like.

Remember that the Works Cited Page has to meet certain format requirements:

• The actual page must be titled, centered, Works Cited
• The page should be single spaced except double spaces between entries.
• The first line of the entry begins at the left margin, the second and any additional lines are indented 5 spaces.
• The entries must be in alphabetical order by author's last name.
• If an entry has no author, the entry is alphabetized by the first word in the article (not including articles such as "a," "the," etc.).
• If there are multiple authors, you must keep the author's in the same order as they appear on the publication.
• Use italics rather than underlining in the title of books, journals, etc.
• Pay close attention to where items are divided by commas, periods, or colons.
• Every entry should end with a period.

Your Annotated Bibliography assignment should be title "Annotated Bibliography" rather than "Works Cited" and there should be a contextual paragraph between each entry. We will discuss the difference between "bibliographies," which are works consulted, and "works cited," which are lists of sources actually used in a paper.
