The way I was taught in high school that helped me to remember when to use quotations and when to underline was: if you could hang the thing in question on a string with a clothespin, the quotes were the clothespin. If it was too heavy for that it needed to be put on a shelf(underlined). Examples: A magazine article "(Article Title)"
A scholarly paper "(Paper title here)"

A book (Book Title here)

In writing, use italics to indicate the title of a book. Underlining is considered outdated in most style guides.
