1. Use the title Bibliography if the only sources you used were books; use the title Works
Cited if you used other types of sources as well as books.
2. List the entries alphabetically using the authors’ or editors’ last names.
3. If the author is unknown (as may occur in a newspaper article or an article from a
periodical), list the work using the first word in the title of the article to determine the alphabetical placement. Ignore such words as a, an, or the.
4. Double-space the entire bibliography both within and between entries. The first line of an
entry should be flush with the left margin and all subsequent lines of the entry should be indented five spaces.
5. Centre the title at the top of the page and capitalize only the first letter. Do not underline it.
Do not number your entries.
6. Don’t introduce a hyphen at the break of a URL between two lines. If you must divide
a URL between two lines, break it only after a slash.
