  1. Making Works Cited Entries Amy V. Cummings Hidden Valley Middle School

  2. All Works Cited Entries have basically the same format! • Author of the source, if given • Title of article if the source is from a magazine, newspaper, encyclopedia, special encyclopedia, etc. • Title of book, magazine, newspaper, etc. • City of publication (books) • Publishing company (books) • Date of publication • Page number (magazines, newspapers, and some books)

  3. For example, this is the citation for a familiar encyclopedia article without an author named “Mandarin.” The Encyclopedia Americana. 1994 ed.

  4. This is the most important slide! Citing sources when you find them in electronic format.

  5. This is how the same article would appear if found on a database! “Mandarin.” The Encyclopedia Americana. 1994 ed. InfoTrac Junior Edition. Gale Group Databases. Hidden Valley Middle School Lib. 23 Jan. 2006 <http://www. infotracc.galegroup.com>. • The part in red must be added to give credit to the database that you used.

  6. Another Way Nellie Y. McKay. "Hughes, Langston." World Book Online Reference Center. 2006. World Book, Inc. 6 Feb. 2006 <http://www.worldbookonline.com/wb/A rticle?id=ar266060>.

  7. For example, this is the citation for a magazine article. Smith, Joe. “How to Plant a Successful Garden.” Journal of Gardening May 2001: 50-55.

  8. This is the same magazine article found on a database Smith, Joe. “How to Plant a Successful Garden.” Journal of Gardening May 2001: 50-55. InfoTrac OneFile. Gale Group Databases. Hidden Valley Middle School Lib. 25 Aug. 2005 <http://www.infotrac. galegroup.com>. The black part is what you would do with the print version of the article. The red is what you add because it is from a database.

  9. Familiar encyclopedia article with an author named Smith, Bob P. “Indian Philosophy.” Encyclopedia Britannica. 15th ed.

  10. Articles from less-familiar encyclopedias Smith, John. “Normans and Normandy.” Dictionary of the Middle Ages. Ed. Joseph R. Strayer. 13 vols. New York: Scribner’s, 1987. You may be asked to write which volume in the set you used. In the example above, if your information had come from volume 5 in the set, then you would replace “13 vols.” with “vol. 5”

  11. Article from a newspaper Jeromack, Paul. “This Once, a David of the Art World Does Goliath a Favor.” New York Times 13 July 2002: F1+. The + after F1 means that the article carried over to another page.

  12. Articles from a magazine published weekly or every two weeks Weintraub, Arlene, and Laura Cohen. “Exploding Myths.” Business Week 6 May 2002: 94-96.

  13. Articles from a magazine published monthly or every two months Paul, Annie Murphy. “Self-Help: Shattering the Myths.” Psychology Today Mar.- Apr. 2001: 60- 68. For a magazine published monthly you would just put the month. In the example above, if it had been the April issue you would put “April” for the month.

  14. Book by one author Hamilton, Beverly. Old and New Ways. New York: Farrar Publishing, 2002.

  15. Book with two or more authors Eggins, Suzanne, and Diana Slade. Analyzing Casual Conversation. London: Cassell, 1997. Three or more authors: Give only the first author’s name followed by et al, or give all names in the order that they appear on the title page.

  16. Book with a compiler or editor Lopate, Phillip, ed. The Art of the Personal Essay: An Anthology from the Classical Era to the Present. New York: Anchor-Doubleday, 1994. Comp. Is the abbreviation you should use if there is a compiler instead of an editor.

  17. Web sites Botelho, Greg. “Tornadoes: Tracking one of Nature’s Most Dangerous Storms.” CNN.com. 2005. Cable News Network. 5 April 2005 <http://www.cnn.com/2004/WEATHER /03/24/overview/>. Avildsen, Christina, et al. “The Ordovician.” Museum of Paleontology. 2005. University of California, Berkley. 6 May 2005. <http://www.ucmp.berke ley.edu/index.html>. “Biographies of the Presidents: George Washington.” History Channel.com. 2005.

  18. Remember • Only site what is known! • If no author is given for the article, simply start the entry with the article name. • If the URL is excessively long, you may end it after the .com. • Your teacher may let you consider this a book source; although you accessed the article via the Internet, World Book publishes a print encyclopedia.
