Most word processing programs will allow you to automatically create a hanging indent for your list of reference/works cited. Typically you will find it in the paragraph menu. It is also possible to use the ruler to do it.
You can find out more about it by asking a librarian or a classmate who might know. You can always do an internet search for the name of your word processing program. For example you could type in "how do I make hanging indent in Microsoft Word 2013?"
