This document provides instructions for creating a Works Cited page using the website bibme.org. Students will use one book and one reliable website as sources for their research paper. They are directed to enter bibliographic information for the sources into bibme.org to automatically generate properly formatted Works Cited entries, which can then be copied into a Word document. The document outlines important formatting aspects like alphabetical ordering, punctuation, and indentation and provides an example of a completed Works Cited page and source card.

1. Works Cited Page & Source Cards
You will be using your sources (one book and one reliable website) to research information about your topic. At
the end of your paper, you will need to tell the reader where you learned facts and information that you
included in your paper. You will create a Works Cited page to document these sources.
Creating a Works Cited Page
Step 1: Visit bibme.org. This website will do all of the formatting for your Works Cited page for you.
Step 2: Put in the bibliographical information for your book and website. (Note: Your book and/or
website may be in the system. In this case, check for capitalizations and correct information. If the site
is not able to load all of the information from your book or website, you will need to enter it manually.)
Step 3: Either copy and paste entries into Microsoft Word, or click on the option to Download to Word.
(Note: to Download to Word, you must create an account with bibme.org. )
Important Things to note:
1. Sources are listed in alphabetical order according to the last name of the author (or title if no author is
listed.)
2. Pay special attention to the punctuation, underlines, and order of information. Generally the order is as
follows: Last name, first name, middle initial, title of article, title of book, city of publisher, publisher’s name,
date, and page numbers. In some sources, you will not find all the information. Use what you can find.
3. Notice the indenting. The first line is NOT indented, but the remainder of the lines are indented.
4. Look at my example! 
