Target: MLA works consulted / works cited

[cfiner cfiner <cfiner@MAIL.NEWFOUND.K12.NH.US>]

Good afternoon, LM-NET!

I have a question for our MLA gurus.

My teachers and I prefer to assign a 'works
consulted' list instead of a 'works cited' list so
that we can see ALL of the works that the
students consulted. Gibaldi's style manual
discusses the difference between the two lists
(page 153 of the 2nd ed.), but does not explicitly
state that one may be substituted for another.

Question: May teachers assign a 'list of works
consulted' instead of a 'list of works cited' and
still be within the guidelines of MLA?

TIA!
