Arrange the sources you referred to in your paper in alphabetical order by the author�s last name or the first important word in the title. Double space all entries. Underline or use italics for book titles. Generally, an entry has three main divisions--author, title and publication information--each followed by a period and one space. All information following the first line should be indented about a half inch or five spaces. Use the samples below as models.
