MLA CITATIONS How to correctly cite sources in your Work Cited and Bibliography!

GENERAL ADVICE…  Cite early! (That is why your bib card is first!)  When a section of the work is not available (like an author) omit and move to the next requirement  URLs, when included, are contained in triangle brackets and the period goes outside  Ex..  Do not have blue hyperlinks!  MLA7 does not require the URL in a formal MLA citation, but for this class, I would like you to include it
