Whats the difference between works cited and a bibliography?
Answer:
(
9/16/2009
)
Works Cited is the term for any source you have cited in your essay. A bibliography is anything you read to prepare for your essay. Incidentally, Works Cited is used in MLA and Bibliography is used in Chicago style. APA style uses References.
Answer:
(
6/28/2009
)
"Works cited" is just that: works cited in your paper. A bibliography is (loosely from greek) "writing about books" [you've read]. The format is the same, so it is very likely that your works cited will be the same as your bibliography. But they are not, by definition, exactly the same. : )

ya... i was wondering if the citations were supposed to be double spaced and then single space between each individual citation. Other sites have said to do that.

for jenn at the bottom. the little numbers are endnotes. You place your cursor where the little number may appear in the text, (like an intext citation). then click on insert tab at top (this is done through word), references, footnote. This brings up the foot note endnote tab. click the buble endnote set format to 1,2,3 then click ok.

Responding to Emma's question - a pdf file is not a form of literary work, it is a file format used to store documents and images, you need to cite the information contained within the pdf and how you do that depends on the contents and where it came from. Sry I cant be more help full. :-(
