How to Make a Works Cited Page Using Internet Sources

Works cited pages contain the bibliography entries for each source used in the process of writing a research paper. According to MLA (Modern Languages Association) style guidelines, each type of source, including individual webpages and entire websites, has its own specific bibliography entry format. Regardless of whether you consult an Internet source for background information or for direct quotations, you need to cite it in your works cited page. Once you learn the format for citing an Internet source once, you can use it as a template for future bibliography entries.

Instructions

    • 1

      Create a new page at the end of your research document. Title the page "Works Cited."

    • 2

      Cite a specific webpage by using the following bibliography entry format:

      [Editor's/Author's Last Name], [Editor's/Author's First Name]. "[Title of Webpage]." [Name of Website]. [Name of Website's Publisher/Supporting Organization], [Date Website Was Last Updated]. Web. [Date Accessed].

      Replace the bracketed items with the details of the website you're citing. If certain details aren't available (i.e. an editor or author name), supply as much information as you can or skip those items.

      Italicize the name of the website's publisher/supporting organization.

      For example:
      "How to Make a Works Cited Page Using Internet Sources." eHow.com. eHow, 2010. Web. 10 April 2010.

      Replace the bracketed items with the details of the website you're citing. If certain details aren't available (i.e. an editor or author name), supply as much information as you can or skip those items.

      Italicize the name of the website's publisher/supporting organization.

      For example:
      eHow.com. eHow, 2010. Web. 10 April 2010.
