- Sample Works Cites Page .... https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/12/
- Begin your Works Cited page on a separate page at the end of your research paper. It should have the same one-inch margins and last name, page number header as the rest of your paper.
- Label the page Works Cited (do not italicize the words Works Cited or put them in quotation marks) and center the words Works Cited at the top of the page.
- Double space all citations, but do not skip spaces between entries.
- Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations by 0.5 inches to create a hanging indent.
- List page numbers of sources efficiently, when needed. If you refer to a journal article that appeared on pages 225 through 250, list the page numbers on your Works Cited page as 225-50. Note that MLA style uses a hyphen in a span of pages.
- If you're citing an article or a publication that was originally issued in print form but that you retrieved from an online database, you should type the online database name in italics. You do not need to provide subscription information in addition to the database name.
- The source info for any article from the Gale Database is at the end of the article. You can copy and paste from there - remember that sources go in ALPHABETICAL ORDER based on the first word(s) of the entry in MLA format.
- If you have used other sources, you will have to use the Citation Machine (see the link below)
- http://www.citationmachine.net/mla/cite-a-website
- You will need to click through as indicated on the website until you have a final MLA citation .. see me if you have problems.
