2. How to create a Works Cited
Sheet.
There are some simple rules to follow no
matter which MLA sheet you are handing
in.
ALWAYS list your sources alphabetically
by authors LAST name. If there is no
author then you use the first FULL word of
the article title; note A, AN, AND, OF and
THE do not count.

Sheet.
Example:
Boogey, Tony. “Halloween Horrors”. Movie Reviews.
(October 2008). Web. Sept. 16, 2010.
“A Driving Law Changes”. The Hamilton Spectator. July 16,
2010. A6. Print.
Note the B comes before D (and we ignore the A in the
second title).

Sheet.
Boogey, Tony. “Halloween Horrors”. Movie Reviews.
(October 2008). Web. Sept. 16, 2010.
“A Driving Law Changes”. The Hamilton Spectator. July 16,
2010. A6. Print.
Also note that the first line is all the way to the margin, whereas the
rest of the lines for the same source are tabbed over once. That
makes it easier for the reader to distinguish where one source finishes
and the next one starts.
5. Example (with page number):
Price, T. “Love in the Stars”. Space. 14.3 (2006):16-19.
Web. 22 Sept 2010.
Example (without page number):
Price, T. “Doing Research Right”. Ontario Librarian. 12
(2009). Web. 04 Sept 2010.
6. How to create a Works Cited
Sheet.
In the case of on-line material you are only to
provide the first few words of whatever will
appear first in the Works Cited Sheet you are
creating. You no longer include the URL in any
of the actual information – UNLESS your
teacher says to.
Instead you must list what type of source you
are using.
Hands on stuff – Print
WebPages, online encyclopaedia – Web
TV shows - video
7. How to create a Works Cited
Sheet.
EVERY single source has a little different
way of writing up the information – PAY
ATTENTION to the booklet you have been
given as it shows EXACTLY how each
source is to be used!
If all else fails – ASK THE LIBRARIAN! That
is what we are here for.
