Creating Your Own Project
We will begin by creating a new document in Microsoft Word. We'll learn how to enter and format text to create an MLA-style bibliography that demonstrates how to properly cite many different types of sources. We'll learn how to format a book reference, magazine/newspaper articles, encyclopedias, books and articles with multiple authors, and information drawn from Web sites. Finally, we'll organize the references in alphabetical order and adjust indentations and line spacings, before printing the completed bibliography.
