Works Cited Page Format
A Works Cited page, in conformity with MLA Style, must have the following characteristics:
- The Works Cited page should appear on its own page.
- There should only be one double space between each entry.
- Entries themselves should only be double spaced.
- The second and third lines of each entry should be indented five spaces (a “hanging indent”).
- The margins should be one inch on each side.
- The font should be 12 point Times New Roman.
- Long URL’s can be broken with a space
- The title Works Cited should not not emboldened, underlined, or italicized.
- Your header should appear in the upper-right-hand corner of the page
*Make sure you understand the difference between a Works Cited page and a bibliography. A Works Cited page contains only those works you actually used in your essay. A bibliography, on the other hand, contains a long list of works you read or consulted while writring about this topic, but not all which you necessarily used. In MLA Style, you should create a Works Cited page, not a bibliography.
