Essentials of the MLA Format: The Works Cited Page

The Works Cited page lists all the sources you used (or cited) in your paper.

Begin "Works Cited" on a new sheet of paper
Title it Works Cited in the center of the first line
Arrange entries in alphabetical order
Begin each entry at the left margin and indent all additional lines of the entry by a half (1/2) inch. This is called Hanging Indentation. Each entry will look something like this:

Berg, Orley. Treasures in the Sand: What Archaeology Tells Us About the

Bible. New York: Pacific, 1993. Print.

Your Work Cited page should look like the picture below. Click on the image for a larger view.
