1 Citing and Crediting your Sources using the MLA Style Indian River State College Libraries MLA Style Page, Frequently asked questions about MLA Style Hacker s MLA Update Literacy Education Online Online Writing Lab Helpful Hints about MLA The MLA (Modern Language Association) style is used primarily for history, philosophy, literature, performing arts, music, fine arts, painting, sculpture, graphics, government, and law. Save your file often and make a copy of your final paper for your records. Contact a reference librarian to assist you with conducting research, APA/MLA styles, formatting online citations, etc. Librarians are available in person, by phone, or online. Contact the Academic Support Center (all College campuses) to assist you with any questions you may have with writing a paper, including punctuation, grammar, proofreading, etc. Contact your instructor for any questions or guidance needed with your papers. MLA Handbook Section Numbers For additional information, check the MLA Handbook numbers located after a topic. The section numbers appear on the top of each page in the Handbook. Abbreviations-Months - see MLA 7.2 Abbreviate the names of all months in the list of works cited (i.e. Aug.) with the exception of May, June, & July. Abstracts - see MLA When using abstracts, you must indicate their use within your citation. Alphabetizing your works cited page - see MLA When alphabetizing your list of works cited, begin with the author s last name (if available) and follow the strict A-Z letter-by-letter sequence. Authors and Editors Format for single author - see MLA Smith, John. Format for two authors - see MLA Smith, John, and Mary Smith. Format for three or more authors - see MLA (see Fig. 20) Smith, John, et al. OR Smith, John, Mary Jones, and Carey Green Format no author - see MLA (books) or (articles) Title of the Source.

Title of the Source. Ed. Name of the Editor. Place of publication: Publisher

2 Dates - see MLA No date given, type n.d. Formatting - see MLA 4.2 Font Use a 12-point font. Header Go to Insert, and then click on Header. Follow the help guidelines, if needed. Indenting When your entry runs more than one line, indent the subsequent line(s) one-half inch. Internet Address - see MLA URL is the uniform resource locator; also known as the Internet address or Web address. Avoid dividing an Internet address. If you need to divide a URL do it only after a slash. For websites: Use the URL if the reader cannot locate the document without it. If the URL is so long as to invite errors, it is preferable to give the URL of the home page for the document. Margins - see MLA 4.1 Use 1-inch margins on all sides. Numbers - see MLA 3.5 If a title begins with a number, mentally spell out the number when placing the item on your works cited page. For Roman numerals, see MLA Page Numbers for your paper - see MLA 4.4 Number your pages consecutively placing the number in the upper right hand corner. Use the Header option. Your page numbers should be ½ inch from the top of the page and even with the right margin. Pagination - see MLA and Pagination includes the number range, total number of pages, paragraphs, or other sections, if they are numbered. If no page numbers are given, type n. pag. If the pages are not numbered consecutively, type the first page number with a plus sign (14+). Publisher or Sponsor see MLA If there is on publisher or sponsor identified, use N.p. Quotations - see MLA 3.7 Spacing - see MLA 4.2 Type one space between punctuation marks. Do not justify your margins. This guide is single-spaced; however, MLA references and papers are double-spaced, including quotations, notes and the list of works cited. Titles When formatting the title of the source, italicize the source and capitalize each word. Do not capitalize articles, prepositions, coordination conjunctions and to when these words appear in the middle of a source. When formatting the title of an article, put the title in quotation marks.

3 Titles of Persons - see MLA Do not use formal titles when referring to men or women. Titles for nobility can vary. Works Cited - see MLA 5.1 At the end of your paper, center the title Works Cited on a new page, but continue to number the pages from the original paper. Double-space between the title and the first entry. Double-space the entire list, tab ½ inch after the first line (if a citation is longer than a single text) of each separate citation. Alphabetize the list. The examples in this guide are single-spaced to save paper; however, you must double-space your works cited list. Helpful Hints about Citing your Sources using In Text References (also called parenthetical documentation) Author s name in text - see MLA 6.3 Smith believes in the afterlife (182). Authors name in text - see MLA 6.3 Although controversy exists about the case, Smith and Jones ( ) state the facts about the court proceedings. Author s name in reference - see MLA 6.3 The facts about Indian River State College are located (Massey 132). Research indicates a rise in the unemployment rate (US Department of Labor 77). No author s name listed - see MLA Use the title of the work. An urban legend noted for frightening college students ( Urban Legend 19). Multivolume Works - see MLA If the name of the author appears in the sentence, indicate the volume number: page numbers at the end of the sentence. Jones issued a warning to the travelers (2: 1717). A warning was issued to the travelers (Jones 2: 1717). Newspapers - see MLA and Newspapers are arranged in sections, so page numbers should include the reference letter. The ten amendments were explained in terms of economic costs (Green A3). Quotes - see MLA 3.7, 3.7.7, and Place the reference outside of a quotation, but inside the punctuation. The terms of the agreement state free Access (Jones 342). If your quotation is more than four lines long, indent it one inch from your left margin. Place the reference outside of the punctuation. The following example should be double-spaced for proper formatting. In A Nation at Risk, educational excellence is defined as: We define excellence to mean several related things. At the level of the individual learner, it means performing on the boundary of individual ability in ways that test and push back personal limits, in school and in the workplace. Excellence characterizes a

4 school or college that sets high expectations and goals for all learners, then tries in every way possible to help students reach them.
