The Works Consulted

Page

Why do You Need one?• To give credit to the sources that

offered you information and direction.

• So teachers and others who read your paper can look up your sources.

How do you cite books?

• Last name, First name. Book Title (Underlined). Place Published: Publisher, Year Published.

(Indent the second line)

For Example:Pendleton, Maureen. How I Became

President. New York: United Press, 2007.

How do I cite articles?

• If only an editor is listed:“Title of Article.” Name of Editor (Ed). Title of Book. Place:

Publisher, Year.

For example:“Washington, George.” Encyclopedia Britannica. Geoffrey

Wigoder (Ed). Winston-Salem, NC: University Press, 2000.

Last name of author, First name (if given). “Title of Article.” Title of book. Place Published: Publisher, Year published.

How do I cite for the Internet?

“Title of Article.” Person or Organization Responsible for the Site. Date last updated. Exact Web Address.

For Example:“The History of Magic.” Carroll Magical IV. November 2004. http://www.

magicisfake.com/

Notice that the first letters are alphabetized.

DO NOT number the list.

Now use the source information on your source cards to create a rough copy of your Works Consulted Page. Hand this in with your outlines tomorrow so I can look it over for you.

If you are missing ANY source information, you must look it up today.

You must list every source that you plan to use in your paper. If you use information from a source in the paper and do not include it on your Works Consulted page, that is technically

plagiarism.

If you include a source on your Works Consulted page, it MUST appear in your paper.

Remember:

•Press the enter key in the middle of the web address that is long so that it fits neatly on the lines.•If you need help tonight:www.citationmachine.com
