MLA Format: MLA Works Cited

  • MLA Format: Parenthetical Citations

Note:  These citations serve as examples of how to format entries on Works Cited pages of student research papers.  These examples may or may not be actual published literary works, and you should not be disappointed if the internet web site URLs are not functional.  Again, this page is simply a set of examples to help you format a paper written in MLA style.

 When creating your Works Cited Page, remember to:

  • Begin the Works Cited on a new page, but number consecutively (i.e., if the last page of your essay is page 3, the Works Cited is page 4)

  • Alphabetize each entry by first letter

  • Underline all titles of books, magazines, films, etc.

  • Put quotation marks around the titles of poems, short stories, and articles

  • Indent the 2nd line, the 3rd line, and all subsequent lines of each citation

  • Double-space all entries...the examples which follow are single-spaced only to save space on this handout

  *While you may wish to consult a general reference source like a comprehensive encyclopedia  for background information,  avoid using and citing such resources in documented literary papers. More specialized sources are preferred. 
 ** The following resources are NOT credible and should never be used or cited in a documented literary paper: SparkNotes©, Cliff's© Notes, PinkMonkey Notes©, and similar sources. Be very cautious in your use of resources from the Internet. Essays by middle school and high school students should certainly not be deemed reliable. Similarly, comments on books which are randomly submitted by readers lack credibility.

Answer: (6/9/2009)
wikipedia does not really count as a academic resource. Thats what my teacher told me. If i write wikipedia on the list,she would just totally ignore it, and probably take marks off on my essay.

Question: (6/4/2009)
Whats the difference between works cited and a bibliography?
Answer: (6/28/2009)
"Works cited" is just that: works cited in your paper. A bibliography is (loosely from greek) "writing about books" [you've read]. The format is the same, so it is very likely that your works cited will be the same as your bibliography. But they are not, by definition, exactly the same. : )

Answer: (6/7/2009)
my teacher said that the term bibliography is not used nowadays (=

Answer: (6/6/2009)

they're the same thing

Hey Rebecka, you need to put ';' semi-colons between the authors names.


John (3/17/2009)
ya... i was wondering if the citations were supposed to be double spaced and then single space between each individual citation. Other sites have said to do that.


helping hand (3/17/2009)
for jenn at the bottom. the little numbers are endnotes. You place your cursor where the little number may appear in the text, (like an intext citation). then click on insert tab at top (this is done through word), references, footnote. This brings up the foot note endnote tab. click the buble endnote set format to 1,2,3 then click ok.


helping hand (3/17/2009)

Responding to Emma's question - a pdf file is not a form of literary work, it is a file format used to store documents and images, you need to cite the information contained within the pdf and how you do that depends on the contents and where it came from. Sry I cant be more help full. :-(
