MLA citation format information

MLA citations have two parts that work together. There is an in-text citation that signals readers you are including information from another source, something not your own. The works cited pages give full information to allow readers to find your source if they wish. Both parts are necessary to avoid plagiarism and to build your credibility as a well-researched writer.

Here is a good introduction to MLA citations. This link adds further information: link on intext citations and works cited pages. Remember, Aaron is a brief edition of a handbook so not everything is in there. Kresge Library has some good links to MLA citations, too.
