Create a Working Bibliography by listing a minimum of five possible sources you can use within your Research Essay. At least four must be from the St. Petersburg College Libraries. Indicate the four library sources by including (LIBRARY) at the end of the source.
All sources must be in MLA (Modern Language Association) Works Cited format (see link to ENC 1102 Guide: Citing Sources on Working Bibliography Assignment page). In MLA bibliographies, the first line of the citation goes to the left hand margin with the other lines indented. Don’t worry about that part of the format here. You will need to observe that format in your final draft.
Arrange sources alphabetically by author’s last name or whatever comes first.

For each entry, include a brief summary. This should cover the source’s focus, premise, and some of its relevant content. You may, for example, include a unique quote or an example from the source you have found and plan to use.

EXAMPLE |
This article looks at the common themes and voice in the poetry of Whitman and songs by Springsteen. Both write about the working class. Whitman tends to romanticize labor and laborers, while Springsteen tends to look at the disparity between hard work and where it gets people (not as far as they’d like). The article quotes passages from both writers’ works. |
