Citing Your Electronic Sources

 The references page should begin on a new page, following the last page of your paper.  The title “Works Cited” or “References” should be centered at the top of the page.  The first line of every entry is flush with the left margin, and the second line (if one exists) and all subsequent lines are indented five spaces (tab) from the left margin.  The entries are listed in alphabetical order by the author’s last name (followed by the first and middle initial)
