Punctuating Titles: When to Use Italics, Underlining, and "Quotation Marks."
It's easy to forget that different types of titles require different typographical features. It is even harder to remember which type of title requires which type of punctuation. Despair not! If you remember these two handy rules, you can keep the difference straight:
1) Short works and parts of long works are usually in quotation marks.
2) Long works and collections of short works are usually put in italics if you are typing or underlined when you are writing.
Italics (in typing) and underlining (in handwriting) signal the reader that there is something special about that word or phrase. Many times it is for the name of a publication, such as a book. As students progress into writing research papers and citing publications, they need to know how to correctly format text using italics or underlining.

Remember:
Rule 1 (Punctuating Titles)
Underline the title of any book, magazine, or newspaper. (In print these are italicized.)
Enclose titles of reports, songs, and poems in quotation marks.
Think: short or long
Long things that can stand on their own like books, CDs, or movies are underlined. Short things that are part of something bigger like chapters, episodes, or poems are enclosed in quotation marks.
Also, artwork, such as paintings and sculptures, can stand on their own; therefore, they must be underlined. (Titles of photographs, much smaller pieces of artwork, are enclosed in quotation marks.)
