A Works Consulted list is used when sources that have merely been consulted are combined with the list of those directly quoted. Works Consulted therefore indicates the presence of both types of sources and is not intended to be a separate list of sources not directly cited in the paper. There should be only ONE list of sources at the end of the paper, not two. Remember, the general rule in the MLA style is to simplfy. The nature of most college writing assignments will demand a Works Consulted list.
All entries are to be arranged alphabetically.
Because arrangement variations of publication information are numerous, consult the MLA Handbook directly if questions concerning proper reference form persist. Where the author's name is unknown, alphabetize according to the first word of the title, excepting A, An, or The. Entries are to be double-spaced between the title Works Consulted and the first work, as well as between and within each work. Your last name is to appear on every page before the page number. A general rule is to underline the titles of published books, pamphlets, periodicals and poems that are published separately.
