Titles of short stories are put in quotes. Titles of stand-alone works (that is, books) should be put in italics.
(If italics is not available, for example because you are writing an essay by hand, underlining can be used instead).
As found from Purdue's OWL (Online Writing Lab):
Italics and underlining are generally used interchangeably. When you write, you can choose to either italicize or underline, but make sure you are consistent in which you use throughout the essay...
Italicize the titles of magazines, books, newspapers, academic journals, films, television shows, long poems, plays, operas, musical albums, works of art, websites.

It depends on how they are published. If they are published in a compilation (many essays in one book, or many short stories in one book), then you put the title of the short story or essay in quotation marks, followed by the italicized name of the publication where it is compiled. If the book or essay is published by itself (some are published this way if they are popular enough) then it is the only title, and you would italicize it.
