How to cite sources using MLA style
Though there are numerous recognized styles for documenting sources in research papers (APA, Chicago, etc.), McCallie chooses to use the standards set forth by the Modern Language Association, MLA style. The following links will help the student create a proper Works Cited page. The Works Cited, or Bibliography if your instructor requires it, should be double-spaced consistently (no additional spaces between entries), using the same font and pitch (usually 12 point) as the paper itself. The entries should be alphabetized by the first letter of each entry, usually from the author's last name or the title of the work (omit "a," "an," or "the"). Additionally, each line of an entry after the first should be indented. The titles of all complete works should be either consistently underlined or italicized (italics are sometimes hard to identify); whereas, the titles of works within complete documents should be put in quotation marks. Remember to check with your instructor for any special requirements. While this guide provides examples of most entries a student will need, occasionally the student might need additional help. The Caldwell Writing Center will be happy to assist with any questions that the writer may come across while documenting sources. For examples of completed Works Cited Pages, see the examples of student research papers at the bottom of this page.
