THE WORKS CITED PAGE--MLA STYLE  (from The Little English Handbook, p191)


GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

In a research paper, the bibliography is placed at the end of the paper.  It
is here that the researcher provides full information about all the sources
used in the paper.  Start the list on a new page and proceed as follows:

1.  The heading Bibliography or Works Cited should be centered, one inch down
from the top of the page.

2.  Double-space between the heading and the first entry.

3.  Begin the first entry flush with the left-hand margin.  If an entry
requires more than one line, indent all subsequent lines five spaces from the
left margin.

4.  Double-space between and within entries and continue the list for as many
pages as necessary.

Alphabetize the entries by the author's last name or, if the work is
anonymous, according to the first letter of the first significant word in the
title.  For example, A Handbook of Korea is alphabetized under "H."

LIST OF REFERENCES--APA STYLE (from The Little English Handbook, p208)

The References page appended to a paper that observes the APA style is
comparable to, and yet different from, the Works Cited page in a paper that
observes the MLA style.  Both systems give full bibliographic information
about the works cited in the body of the writing, and both systems arrange the
entries alphabetically according to the last name of the author.  In both
systems, the names of the authors are inverted (surname first), but in the APA
system, only the first initials of first and middle names are given, and when
there are two or more authors for a work, the names of all the authors are
inverted.

The conventions of sequence, punctuation, and capitalization in the APA style
for the References section can most easily be illustrated with examples.
