2.  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

3.  The OWL (online writing lab) from Purdue University has some great resources on the following site  http://owl.english.purdue.edu/

5.  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

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

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

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

9.  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

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

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

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

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

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