it sounds to me like you are in the attic and placing insulation between the joists or adding some, if this is not the case then the others are right. If you are placing new and have already bought it place the paper side against the ceiling. If you are adding, it really doesn't matter which way, cause you are supposed to be using the kind with out paper (facing)

Just so you know the facts....what you are describing is called Kraft Paper Insulation......The paper side of the insulation is a vapor barrier....you need to staple the paper to the joists down each side then overlap down each channel that you cover...One thing thou....most Kraft Insulation is either R-11 or R-13....this is a Insulation rating and usually used in walls...R-19 & R-24 is best for the attic....But whatever you use...something is better then nothing.......
