MLA
- A title page is NOT needed as the MLA
format takes care of that, so do not create one.
- Indent new paragraphs.
- Label the works cited page "Works Cited" (no longer "Bibliography")
if you haven't already.
- Understand the difference between parenthetical citations and full
citations in your bibliography.
- Parenthetical citations must be name and page in all citations:
(Wordsworth 263).
- Understand and block off long quotations, always keeping double spacing.
- Use hanging indents on your works cited list for all entries.
- Do not mix underlines and italics; choose one or the other
and be consistent.
- When using web sites and other Internet-based media as sources, no matter
the actual type of source you have, be sure you cite it as we've discussed.
For example, if you find a periodical in eText, it counts as a periodical
source but must be cited as an electronic source. See your hand-outs and
Basic Forms For Electronic Sources for reference.
