Creating a Works Cited Page

 

In order to give credit to the resources that you used for your research you will need to create a works cited page as the last page of your paper.

Considerations:

  • Type “Works Cited” at the top of the page. Make sure it is centered.
  • Your list of books should be organized alphabetically by the author’s last name. If there is no author listed for the article, alphabetize by the title—ignore A, An, or The.

The following are sample citations. You will want to follow this model for your paper. Note that our library databases will generate citations for you. You can cut & paste these citations to your works cited page.
