MLA Documentation In the next few slides, I am going to
give you some “secrets” to MLA documentation for some different resources used in this class
Remember that there are different styles to documenting sources but learning one style will give you the tools to be able to use different methods as well
MLA Documentation: The OWL The OWL (online writing lab) from
Purdue University has some great resources on the following site

on the MLA source page, you will be able to access examples of MLA documentation on the left side of the screen

In the left had column, there is a link titled “Cite”
MLA Documentation: EBSCO
That link will bring up a box with a list of documentation styles where you can find MLA
MLA Documentation: EBSCO
You can copy and paste that information onto your works cited page as a reference
FYI: You will need to double check each time because occasionally the citation is wrong
MLA Documenation: SIRS When you use an article from SIRS, the
MLA citation can be found at the bottom of the article
MLA Documentation: Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word also has a nice feature to help with citing sources.
Use the Reference tab and then click on “Insert Citation”
MLA Documentation: Microsoft Word
Make sure the style is set to MLA
When you click on the “Insert” you can select “Add New Source”

me know if you have any questions
