How to Make a Works Cited Page
On page 30 in the Bedford Guide is an example of a citation of an essay from this text (wrong edition) at the bottom of the page. If you already know how to do this, go ahead on your own.
If you are not sure, there are several tools to help you. Microsoft Word has a Bibliography section; SCC has paid for a special online tool that helps you with this. I am posting helpful videos about it here, but if you want to figure it out on your own, that's fine too.
Click here to go to EasyBib. Open it in a window next to this one.
1. Log in and create an account. That way it will save your information, and you can work on it from any computer. Remember what you choose for password, etc. (write it in your daybook?). They will NOT send you spam. If you don't log in, everything will be lost when you quit.
Click here for an introductory tutorial.
2. You will "create a project" and call it Sum/Response. Then click on "Bibliography" to start.
3. Then click on this tutorial on how to enter the information for a book.
NOTE: The Bedford Guide is your source, and you must enter ALL the authors. Your article is treated as a chapter/essay within that source, and you must click on "Add another contributor" and select "Section author" in order to match your author to his/her article within Bedford.
3. When you type information in, you must make correct capitalization and spelling choices; the computer does it YOUR way.
4. After filling all the useful boxes, click the "create citation" tab at the bottom.
5. The next page will have a "Print as Word Document" button. Click on that and a correctly formatted page in Word should open (you may have to disable a pop-up blocker). Print it.
