Familiarize yourself with the general rules. Your bibliography sheet is always at the very end of your paper. Index all the references based on the writer's last name. If you want to cite multiple works by the same author, write his name in the first citation and list the rest of the sources by that author alphabetically based on each book's title. Leave a blank line between citations. Indent the second line if a reference needs more than one line to complete. Make sure your bibliography sheet is free of errors and simple to read.
Cite the books you used. To reference a book in MLA style, provide the author's name, then give the title italicized and then include the place of publication, followed by the name of the publisher and the year of publication. Your citation should look like this:
Wolfe, Thomas. Of Time and the River. New York: Scribner, 1935.
If you are referencing in APA style, list the author's last name, his first initial, the year of the work's publication between brackets, and the title italicized. Finish with the book's place of publication and the publisher's name. Your citations should look like this:
Wolfe, T. (1935). Of Time and the River. New York: Scribner.
Cite the articles you used. To reference an article taken from a journal in MLA style, list the writer's last and first name, the article's title in quotation marks, the journal's name underlined, the volume number, the publication date in brackets and the pages you took information from. Your citation should look like this:
Anderson, Carl. "Reaching for the Stars" Academic Astrology Journal. 37 (1999): 48-49.
