1 Honolulu Community College Library Library Guide 3.5 Documenting Sources in MLA Style (8 th Ed.) Guidelines for properly citing sources using the Modern Language Association s (MLA) style have changed with the new 8 th edition. Please refer to the examples provided in this handout when writing your paper and creating your Works Cited list. For a detailed explanation of specific references, please refer to the MLA Handbook (LB2369.G ) or the MLA Style Center online - PREPARING YOUR WORKS CITED LIST When citing sources, the new style organizes elements 1 9 in the order indicated to the right. Notice the punctuation marks indicated for each element. Basic commas and periods should follow each element accordingly. The use of the term container refers to the larger whole where the source is found, such as an article located in a magazine. Certain sources will require elements 3 9 to repeat; think of it as one container nesting in another container an article retrieved from a library database is an example of this. Below are the citation components for a magazine article retrieved from a library database: Container 1 (Elements 1-9 = the article) Samuels, Allison, et al. Battle for the Soul of Hip-Hop. Newsweek, vol. 136, no. 15, 9 Oct. 2000, pp Container 2 (Elements 3-9 repeated, irrelevant elements are omitted = where it was found) Academic Search Complete, hccproxy.lib.hawaii.edu:2048/login?url= login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&an= &site=ehost-live. Accessed 23 June Complete citation Samuels, Allison, et al. Battle for the Soul of Hip-Hop. Newsweek, vol. 136, no. 15, 9 Oct. 2000, pp Academic Search Complete, hccproxy.lib.hawaii.edu:2048/login?url= com/ login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&an= &site=ehost-live. Accessed 23 June
2 Works Cited items are listed at the end of your paper, arranged alphabetically by the author s last name, or when there is no author, by the first word of the title (except A, An or The). Format each entry so that the second and subsequent lines have a hanging indent (of half an inch) from the left margin. Online sources should include the full URL from your Web browser, but omit or Articles from scholarly journals may include an assigned Digital Object Identifier (DOI). If given a choice, use a DOI when available instead of the URL. Please refer to the most frequently cited sources below. Books in Print Author Last name, First name. Title of Book.

6 IN-TEXT CITATIONS [MLA Handbook pp , ] In-text citations allow the reader to quickly and easily locate your sources from the works-cited list. The in-text citation is created with the first element in the citation, usually the author s name and the page number(s) of the information referenced. If the author s name appears in the sentence, then include only the page number in parentheses. Two examples of in-text citations: There is a significant amount of dating violence among teens in Hawaii (Gordon D1). Nelson and Kjos recommend being mindful of the numerous warning signs of dating violence (43). Example of Works Cited List: Gordon, Mike. Teen Dating Violence. Honolulu Advertiser, 14 Apr. 2009, pp. D1+. Nelson, Jill and Sarah Kjos. Helping Teens Handle Tough Experiences. Search Institute P, ProQuest ebrary, site.ebrary.com/lib/honcclib/detail.action?docid= Accessed 27 Feb If the source has two authors, combine their names with an and. (Boyer and Graham 217) If the source has three or more authors, write the first author s last name and then et al. (Samuels et al. 60) If the source is from a corporate author, abbreviate the name where appropriate. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention becomes CDC. Since this source is a website, there is no page number included with the in-text citation. (CDC) HCC Library 3/2/17 6
7 ADDITIONAL REMINDERS DOIs and URLs [MLA Handbook p. 48 and 110] A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a series of numbers (and sometimes letters) that lead to a location of an online source. Articles in journals are often assigned DOIs. The MLA Handbook 8 th edition prefers that you use a DOI when available instead of a URL. Online sources should include the full URL or Web address from your browser, but omit or o Incorrect o Correct Some resources may provide a stable permanent hyperlink (sometimes called a permalink). Permalink URLs are intended to remain unchanged versus regular links that may change over time. Use a permalink for your web source if given a choice. OPTIONAL ELEMENTS [MLA Handbook pp ] It is recommended that students include the Date of Access for online materials, since online content changes frequently or can be removed at any time. It is no longer a requirement that the date of original publication or the city of publication be included in citations, however pertinent facts about locating the original source should be considered for inclusion if it helps the reader find the source. When in doubt about citing certain sources, always refer to the MLA Handbook for guidance.
