 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

 The OWL (online writing lab) from Purdue University has some great resources on the following site 

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

 From an article in EBSCO, you can find the MLA documentation information  This is a full text article from EBSCO

 In the left had column, there is a link titled “Cite”

 That link will bring up a box with a list of documentation styles where you can find MLA

 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

 When you use an article from SIRS, the MLA citation can be found at the bottom of the article

 Microsoft Word also has a nice feature to help with citing sources.  Use the Reference tab and then click on “Insert Citation”

 Make sure the style is set to MLA  When you click on the “Insert” you can select “Add New Source”

 This box will appear where you can enter your source information

 Hopefully this helps but as always, let me know if you have any questions
