Citing Sources from Ebsco and Newsbank

If you've lost your copy of the Ebsco handout, it is posted online here.

All other samples should be in your research book. Make sure you stick to the MLA chapters, however. If you are looking in the APA chapters, you will do the whole thing incorrectly.

If you have a source that you cannot find in your textbook, ask me about it. I'll look it up for you in the MLA Handbook.

Never, ever try to make it up or guess. As many papers as I've done in MLA format myself, I still ALWAYS look up how to cite it before I put it on a works cited page. That's what the book is for. You aren't expected to memorize citation formats. You're just expected to follow the examples in the book.
