For each entry, italics should be used for larger works like books and magazines, while quotation marks should be used for smaller works like articles and poems. Additionally, the medium of publication (such as DVD, Print, CD, or Web) should be included at the end of each entry, and the web address should be provided for entries obtained from the internet.
