Ways to Create "Automatic" Bibliographies
Format and manage your List of Works Cited, working bibliography, and annotated bibliography with RefWorks. RefWorks suggests that you pick a new password for yourself, something different from your Net ID. This gives you just a bit of added protection from hackers. Install the Write-n-Cite (ProQuest for Word) feature to use your own references in Microsoft Word. (See the RefWorks Tools menu for download instructions.)

2. Database Output
The Ebsco and ProQuest database families, among others, will produce very good MLA bibliographies. Always check their output against your MLA style manuals (see MLA Citation Page) to make sure all the elements are correct.

Your Works Cited entry for all these in-text citations would look like this:
