Below is a Works Cited page in MLA format that lists all of the sources we used in this workshop. You can use it as a model for Works Cited pages that you need to write for your assignments. Notice a few things about the MLA formatting that you should also be sure to do on your own Works Cited page.
Begin the Works Cited on a new page, not right under your last sentence.
The page heading has to say Works Cited and it has to be centered on the page.
Citations have to be in alphabetical order by the first word in the citation. (Note: If you have more than one source by the same author, then you put them in alphabetical order by the title of the source. Unfortunately, there isn’t an example of that on this Works Cited page because all of the sources were by different authors.)
Citations have to have hanging indentation. That’s where the first line is all the way out to the left and all the lines after the first one have to be indented. It’s like the opposite of indenting a paragraph and it helps your reader see where each citation starts.
Citations have to be double spaced and should not have any extra spaces between them.
It’s common for students to want to number the items in their list of works cited, especially if their professor required them to use a certain number of sources. But as you can see on this Works Cited page, there should be no numbers before your citations.
