A Works Consulted page should always be found at the end of any paper if you have used resources outside your own brain! A Works Consulted page provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and be able to read any sources you used in your research.

Basic Rules for Works Consulted pages:

    1. The author's last name comes before the author's first name. Example: Brown, Ronald.
    2. If a work has more than one author, flip only the first author’s name, follow it with a comma, then continue listing the rest of the authors: Brown, Ronald, and Linda Smith.
    3. Alphabetize your sources by the authors’ last names. If no author is given for a particular work, alphabetize by the title of the work. See sample Works Consulted page for an example.
    4. The first line of each entry in your list should be at the left margin. Following lines should be indented one-half inch (or 5 spaces). This is known as a "hanging indent".
    5. All references should be double-spaced.
