What is MLA? (from the MLA website) All fields of research agree on the need to document scholarly borrowings, but documentation conventions vary because of the different needs of scholarly disciplines. MLA style for documentation is widely used in the humanities and features brief parenthetical citations in the text keyed to an alphabetical list of works cited that appears at the end of the work.
As we continue our process for the research paper, and "check your sources," we are requiring you to put these sources in "MLA Style." EasyBib is a terrific resource, but you do need to know how to enter your information correctly. You can submit your sources to us any way you would like-note cards, Google Docs, etc.
The best how-to out there for correct MLA-formatting is the OWL at Purdue University. Use it!
The most important thing to start with for a correct citation is author. Let's look at an article (you'll have to sign-in), and figure out how to correctly format the citation. This source has the correct citation at the bottom.
Here is another article that will take some more work...Let's open a Doc and do this...
