Basic MLA Style Format for an Annotated Bibliography

Format your citations in the same manner as for a normal reference list, then follow these instructions for adding an annotation.

1. Hanging Indents are required for citations in the bibliography, as shown below. That is, the first line of the citation starts at the left margin. Subsequent lines are indented 4 spaces. It is difficult to show this in Web pages. To see them most clearly, open browser window to the full width of this grey box and set your font size to a medium font (12-14 points) Please note that Web formatting exaggerates the indentations. 2. As with every other part of an MLA formatted essay, the bibliography is double spaced, both within the citation and between them. Do not add an extra line between the citations. 3. The annotation is a continuation of the citation. Do not drop down to the next line to start the annotation. 4. The right margin is the normal right margin of your document. 5. In a long bibliography, organize your entries by topic, such as "Jordan Baker Materials". See below.

6. To view these annotations with correct formatting, set your preferences so that the font size is 12 or medium.

For a journal article: Author’s last name, first name. “Article Title.” Journal title volume (year): pages. For a chapter in a book collection with an editor: Author’s last name, first name. “Chapter Title.” Book Title. Ed. First Name Last Name. Publication location: Publishing House, year. Pages. For a book by one author: Author’s last name, first name. Book Title. Publication location: Publishing House, year. Pages.
