This page is NOT your bibliography. This is simply a guide that will help you gather information to write your bibliography.
Guidelines for writing your “Works Cited” page:
Most bibliographic information will come from the title
page and title page verso (think “reverse”) in books
List all sources alphabetically by first word in the entry
Double space between entries
Use “reverse indentation” (everything except the first line
of each entry is indented)
Punctuation is very, very important! Pay close attention to
capitals, underlines, quotes, brackets, etc.
