The American Library Association now calls the list of materials used to create an essay a Works Consulted list.  (There is also a Works Cited list for when you directly quote something from all of your resources and you have included parenthetical citations within your essay.)  Bibliography is a passé term and should not be used.

Your works consulted list leads to your sources:
The works consulted list should appear at the end of your research paper. It provides the information for a reader to locate and read any source you used to prepare your paper.  A works consulted page lists every resource you consulted and possibly some that you cited, but not all have to be quoted or paraphrased in your essay. 

Formatting your works consulted list:  Begin your works consulted list on a separate page from the text of the essay under the label Works Consulted (with no quotation marks, underlining, etc.). The title should be centered at the top of the page. 

More information: For additional information, please see the secondary guidelines for citing works page or consult the most current version of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers.

 Reminders:     

• Left margin
• If an entry is more than one line, indent any additional lines
• Double-space between lines and entries
• Alphabetize the list based on the first word of each entry (ignore A, An, The)
• Include three key elements:
  1) author’s name
  2) title or source of the work
  3) publication information
• Online resource entries include the date and place that you accessed the information

If you use a online tool to help create your Works Consulted page you still need to choose the correct MLA “form” from the choices listed for the type of material you are citing. Fill in the blanks, process, and then copy!  Be sure final citation matches LWSD requirements.
