• Arrange the items on your reference list alphabetically by author , interfiling books, articles, etc.
• Indent the second and following lines 5 spaces.
• If you are using a typewriter and cannot use italics, then use underlining.
• If no author is given, start with the title and then the date.
• Websites: include the date the page was created (or updated) and the date you looked at it.
• The rules concerning a title within a title are not displayed here for purposes of clarity. See the printed version of the manual for details.
