1 MLA 8th edition Works Cited Why Cite? The purpose of citing the source is: to credit the author and publisher of the information you are using to show that your work has a factual basis to provide a bibliography so that others can locate the references you used to avoid plagiarizing (using someone else s words or ideas without citing them) MLA [Modern Language Association of America] is a commonly used citation format. MLA 8 was designed to standardize how things are cited across formats and provides guidelines that writers in all fields from humanities to the sciences can apply to any source. MLA 8 focuses on core elements that are common to most works regardless of format or medium. Basic Citation Format: Author/Creator, Title of Source, Title of Container, Other Contributors, Version, Number, Publisher, Publication Date, Location. Core Elements: Author/Creator. See examples below for format. Title of Source. Use quotation marks when source is part of a larger work. Italicize titles of independent works. Title of Container. For works that are part of a larger whole. For instance, a journal article found in a database has two containers, the journal and the database. Each container may have its own contributors, version, and numbers. Other contributors, when specified, such as editors or translators. Version, when specified, such as a specific edition of a book. Number, for works that are part of numbered sequences, such as a volume of a book or volume and issues number of a journal article.
2 Publisher. The organization responsible for producing the work. Publication Date. See examples below for format. Location, when applicable. This might be page numbers, a DOI, digital object identifier, or a URL Complete rules and additional examples of the MLA 8 style, can be found in the MLA Handbook 8th edition, REF LB 2369.G , shelved at the 2nd floor Reference Desk. Also visit The MLA Style Center, ( or the Coulter Library Web Citation Guide ( Double space your Works Cited list. Format entries with a hanging indent. Alphabetize by author (or first line of entry if no author).

7 In-text Citations Anytime facts, ideas or words are taken directly from an original source, you must give credit within your paper. In other words, whether you are paraphrasing, directly quoting in part, or quoting in entirety, always be sure to cite your sources. Also called parenthetical citations, in-text citations allow your reader to find the sources you used and refer the reader directly back to the Works Cited list. The goal of the in- text citation is to be brief, clear and break the flow of the writing as little as possible. Format If you are directly quoting, indicate the author and the page number within parenthesis after the quotation marks. If you mention the author s name, such as <name of author> states that, then simply put the page number in parenthesis after the quote. When citing an entire work, include the author s name in the text of your paper instead of in a parenthetical reference: Example: In his book, In Critical Condition, Edward Kennedy discusses the crisis in America s health care system. Example: In-Text On May 18, 1860, the day when the Republican Party would nominate its candidate for president, Abraham Lincoln was up early. (Goodwin 5). Works Cited Goodwin, Doris K. Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2005.
8 Examples of In-text Citations One author (Rand 96) Two authors (Zand and Rountree 543) Three or more authors (Murphy et al. 2425) Two authors with the same surname Johnson 29) (Add the first initial) (M. Johnson 40) (H. Corporate Author (United States, Dept. of Labor, 147) (Abbreviate where appropriate) No author (Cite the full title) (Faulkner s Southern Novels) (Shorten longer title) (Faulkner s Novels) For Faulkner s Novels of the South Multi-volume work For page number within volume (Layer 2: 350) For the entire volume (Layer, vol. 2) Only cite part numbers if they are explicit (visible in the document) and fixed (the same for all users of the document). Do not manually count unnumbered parts. Cite as a whole any source without page numbers or any other form of explicit, fixed part numbering. The key is to include in your text or in a parenthesis enough information for your reader to find the corresponding entry in your Works Cited list most times this will be the author s last name.
9 EXAMPLE OF AN MLA WORKS CITED PAGE Note: A Works Cited page should only contain those works you actually cite in your paper. If you want to include some items you consulted but did not cite, title your page Works Consulted. A Bibliography is a list of all sources you used in your research. Format: Begin as a new page with header Works Cited centered on page, not bolded. Double-space entries and use hanging indent when an entry has more than one line. List entries alphabetically with names and titles alphabetized together. For titles starting with articles ("a" and "the"; and equivalents in other languages), the article is not considered when alphabetizing. Alphabetized numerals and numbers are as though they are spelled out. Works Cited Alvarez, Gloria. "Teacher Recalls Land of Rising Sun; Audience Hears Tales of Japan."
