1 Brought to you by McChord Library A Little Bit of MLA Goes a Long Way! 1 A Brief Guide to MLA Style Examples are based on the 7 th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers and the following MLA web site - (rev. 1/12) Basic formatting information for entire paper use 12-pt type, double-space and use 1 inch margins 1) TITLE PAGE Page header pages sometimes become separated, so include your last name in the header. Trudy R. Bell Professor Thompson Bell 1 Page number number pages consecutively. Insert the page number flush with the righthand margin and one-half inch from the top. English May 2008 Quit Whining and Start Writing Heading begin the heading one inch from the top of the page and one inch from the left. It should include your name, your instructor s name, course name & number, and the date. Double space between lines. NOTE: A separate title page is normally not required. However, always check with your instructor to find out if there are any special requirements. College students are usually required to write a large number of research papers during their academic career. According to a recent study, many college students not only dislike writing research papers, they also tend to spend more time complaining about having to write a paper than they actually spend on the writing process itself (Martin 212). The purpose of this paper is to examine the primary reasons why students dislike writing papers and investigate possible strategies for improving student response to the writing process. Title double space after the heading and then center the title of the paper. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2) WORKS CITED - all sources included in the Works Cited list must be cited in the body of the paper and all sources cited in the paper must be included in the Works Cited list. Basic formatting for works cited list 1) The list begins on a new page with the heading centered, 2) the list is alphabetized by authors last names, and 3) the entire list should be double-spaced.

10 7) CITING SOURCES WITHIN THE TEXT OF A PAPER (parenthetical documentation) 10 PARAPHRASING (restating an author s words in your own words) Rules: 1) for print sources include the author s last name and page number(s) 2) for online sources include the author s last name and page numbers if they re available. If page numbers aren t available, but the source includes fixed numbering such as numbered paragraphs, use paragraph numbers (example: pars ). If the source doesn t include page numbers, fixed paragraph numbering, or any other type of numbering, do not cite numbers when you borrow from it. Examples of paraphrasing - 1) According to Smith (pars ), many students have trouble reading 2) Turner ( ) urges employers to treat employees in a fair manner 3) Hooch, Brown and Wallace (43-47) have indicated that several groups 4) Many degree candidates have relied heavily on financial aid (Burns and Pope 151). DIRECT QUOTATION (using an author s exact words) Rule: Short quotations (less than four lines) should be enclosed in quotation marks and the author s last name and page number(s) should be included. If the source is online (article from web site, etc.) and does not provide page numbers, use paragraph numbers, if provided. If no numbering is provided, none should be used: Examples of short quotation 1) Men's appetite for invasive cosmetic surgery is dropping off (Voiland par. 5). 2) The rules of the employee recruitment game have changed (Smith and Jones 15). 3) According to Turner (par. 3), when people work together great things happen. Rule: A quotation of more than four lines should be set off from the text by beginning a new line. Indent the quote one inch from the left margin, double space and do not use quotation marks. Provide the author s last name and page number(s) or paragraph number(s) if they are provided. Double space the quote: Example of block quotation According to Breeding: Each page on your site should be designed from two major perspectives. Many web authors or designers just consider how the page will be viewed by end users as they navigate through a site. They will optimize the site for visual appeal, usability, and navigation. It's just as important, however, to optimize the page to maximize its findability in the search engines. (par. 6) The period goes before the parenthetical citation for block quotations. QUESTIONS?
