Seven things to Remember when Creating

Annotated Bibliographies AND Works Cited pages

 

  1. Remember to alphabetize your entries by author's last name.  Do not to number them.  If a source has no author, then alphabetize by the title of the source.  Ignore articles (a, an, the) when determining alphabetical order.
  2.  
  3. Be sure your margins are set to 1 inch all the way around
  4.  
  5. Either underline or italicize (italics preferred), but don't mix formats.  (Underlining means the same thing as italicizing.)
  6.  
  7. MLA says to abbreviate months to the first three letters (e.g. Dec.), except for May, June, and July.
  8.  
  9. In your annotations (the part after the bibliographic information), remember that names of titles (like periodical, magazine, and journal titles--hint, hint) get italicized.
  10.  
  11. Put 2 spaces after end punctuation (i.e. units of information, like the author's name and the title of an article).
  12.  
  13. Even though the original source may take liberties by not capitalizing words in titles, or adding a lot of extra bibliographic information, you still have to adjust the capitalization and follow all the other MLA conventions for documenting your sources.
