ON WRITING THE BIBLIOGRAPHY PAGE

Based on Fowler, H. The Little, Brown Handbook. New York: Addison-Wesley, 2004.

General Instructions

If you are writing or typing your paper(s), center the words Works Cited on the top line of lined paper or on the thirteenth line of typing paper. Capitalize only the first letter of each word because the bibliography is not considered a major part of the paper. Skip a line if you are writing or quadruple space if typing. Begin writing or typing the first line at the margin, and indent five spaces for the second and subsequent lines. Double-space each entry, and double space between each entry. Arrange the entries in alphabetical order by the author's last name or in the title of a work without an author the first important word. Do not number the entries. For handwritten or typed papers, underline with a continuous line the titles, which are italicized below.
