You have your paper and you have to have the title of a book in the paper. Do you put it in italics or do you underline it. I know it is one or the other but I don't know which one.

I'm pretty sure both are acceptable, as are using quotation marks. You should probably ask your teacher which one s/he prefers.

Here, check it with MLA:

Books should be in italics or quotes. Underlining is for Magazines, articles and reports.

The name of the book should be in Italics.

Actually, underlining and italics are basically the same thing. Since we can't necessarily use italics when we are writing longhand, we underline. When we are typing, we would use italics.
