Formatting the Works Consulted Page

For assistance in formatting the Works Consulted page, use the Knight Cite citation service. Be sure to select the type of source on the left hand margin of Knight Cite before entering the citation information. This will not be helpful, however, for sources from databases such as ProQuest, Galenet (Twayne's Authors Series), and JSTOR.

For sources gathered from those kinds of databases, refer to p. 140 of your Pocket Style Manual.

Once again, your works consulted page should be organized alphabetically by the author's last name. Click here for a sample page. This sample page is titled Works Cited; yours must be titled Works Consulted.

The list can take some time to format, so you should not leave it for the last minute. Give yourself up to an hour to put the finishing touches on this page.
