Using MLA Format OWLOnline Writing Lab at Purdue And……… Rules of Thumb

Why Use MLA Format? Allows readers to cross- reference your sources easily Provides consistent format within a discipline (and its logic fits discipline) Gives you credibility as a writer Protects you from plagiarism Purdue University Writing Lab

Cross-Referencing Your Sources Preparing a works cited enables readers to find your original source material. If they become really interested in some of your sources and want to use them for their own research, theyll be able to find them. Purdue University Writing Lab

Handling Quotes in Your Text Authors last name and page number(s) of quote must appear somewhere: Romantic poetry is characterized by the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings (Wordsworth 263). Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings (263).

Handling Parenthetical Citations Sometimes more information is necessary More than one author with the same last name (W. Wordsworth 23); (D. Wordsworth 224) More than one work by the same author (Joyce, Portrait 121); (Joyce, Ulysses 556) Citing indirect sources (Johnson qtd. in Boswell 250)

If the source has no known author, then use an abbreviated version of the title: Full Title: California Cigarette Tax Deters Smokers Citation: (California 14) If the source is only one page in length or is a web page with no apparent pagination: Source: Dave Polands Hot Button web column Citation: (Poland) and if you use Polands name in sentence, no citation at all.

Handling Long Quotations David becomes identified and defined by James Steerforth, a young man with whom David is acquainted from his days at Salem House. Before meeting Steerforth, David accepts Steerforths name as an authoritative power: There was an old door in this playground, on which the boys had a custom of carving their names.... In my dread of the end of the vacation and their coming back, I could not read a boys name, without inquiring in what tone and with what emphasis he would read, Take care of him. He bites. There was one boya certain J. Steerforthwho cut his name very deep and very often, who I conceived, would read it in a rather strong voice, and afterwards pull my hair. (Dickens 68) For Steerforth, naming becomes an act of possession, as well as exploitation. Steerforth names David for his fresh look and innocence, but also uses the name Daisy to exploit David's romantic tendencies (Dyson 122).
