When you use information that you found in a book, a newspaper article or on a web site or database, you must give credit to the author(s) for the ideas. HOW important is the WORKS CITED list? Citing your sources in a bibliography/works cited page shows respect for other people's intellectual property. Intellectual property is the basic right of all people to own their own thoughts and ideas. HOW do I create a WORKS CITED list? Every source (book, magazine, encyclopedia, newspaper, web site, database) has information that identifies it as being different from every other source. That includes the author's name, the title, page numbers, and other similar details. IMPORTANT RULES TO REMEMBER 1. At the top of the page centered, indicate Works Cited 2. Alphabetical order for all items together, book titles and author's name. Ignore a, an, and the when alphabetizing. 3. Double space 4. The second and following lines of each entry should be indented. 5. Punctuation marks are important; use commas, colons, and periods as instructed I. FOR A BOOK Author's last name, first name.
