How items are arranged in are reference list
See previous post.
You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:
1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase.
For example, this would go on the Works Cited page (with proper indentation for the second and following lines):
Du Bois, W.E.B. The Souls of Black Folk. Chicago, 1903. Project Bartleby. Ed. Steven van Leeuwen. Dec. 1995. Columbia U. 2 Dec. 2003
<www.cc.columbia.edu/acis/bartleby/dubois/>.
... and this would go immediately after the quotation or whatever:
(Du Bois)
The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible. That's why there's a Works Cited page – for all the details of the listing.

Here's a good place for information on citing in MLA format:

Hold your cursor over the words CITING SOURCES in the left column and then click on whatever type of source you need help with. Many examples will show up. You will get two examples for each type of reference – one for the Works Cited page and one for the parenthetical (in-text) citation.
You can also see what a Works Cited page looks like – click on Sample Works Cited in the left column.

If you need to cite in APA or another format, go here:

In the column at the left, scroll down until you see the different topics on evidence and the different styles (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).

This will help you with APA bibliographies.

And here’s an excellent site to give you guidance on how to use quotations well in your papers, long or short: http://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/quotations.html
In a reference list, items are typically arranged alphabetically by the last name of the author(s) or the organization responsible for creating the work. If there is no author, the title of the work is used as the basis for alphabetical order.
To arrange items in a reference list, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by listing the author or authors' last names for each source. If there is more than one author, list them in the order they appear on the original document.
2. If there is no author listed, use the title of the work in its place. Alphabetize the title ignoring articles like "a", "an", or "the."
3. For sources with multiple works by the same author, arrange them in chronological order. Start with the oldest publication and then move on to the more recent ones.
4. If there are multiple authors with the same last name, use their initials to differentiate them and arrange them alphabetically according to their first initials.
5. After the author's or authors' names, include the publication year in parentheses.
6. Arrange items with the same author and publication year alphabetically by the title of the work, excluding articles.
7. Finally, make sure to include all the necessary bibliographic information for each source, such as the title of the work, publication information, and page numbers (if applicable) in the correct citation format (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago style).
By following these steps, you can create a properly arranged reference list that provides accurate and organized information about the sources you've used in your work.
