What's in this guide?

Academic writing standards require you to credit all sources that you use to write a paper, report, or study. The Modern Language Association (MLA) documentation style provides a guideline for properly crediting your sources by requiring notes in the text of your work that point the reader to an alphabetical list of your sources, called a “Works Cited” list. Properly citing your sources of information allows a reader to understand where you found your information and how to find those sources, and will also help you avoid plagiarism. 

This guide includes many templates and examples. You'll find:

The Basics -- templates

Electronic Sources -- examples

Print & Video Sources -- examples

"Works Cited" Page -- example
