Formatting the Bibliography • Turn on double spacing before you start typing. • Center the word Bibliography on the first line. • Type entries in alphabetical order based on the first line of each entry. • The annotation goes directly below the citation. • Italicize titles of books; capitalize only the first word of the title and any proper nouns. • Capitalize names of magazines and newspapers as you would capitalize them normally.
