What is the MLA?What is the MLA? MLA is a style of documentation used in the

humanities, in particular writing and literature. There are two major handbooks

We only need to worry about one of them, The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers.

If you are curious, the other is The MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing. It’s for graduate students, scholars and professional writers.

So what is plagiarism? Plagiarism is passing off someone else’s

work as your own, and it is a very serious academic offense.

There are two ways to document your sources, and both must be done to make your paper MLA-compliant.

This powerpoint will cover both of them: Intext citations (otherwise known as parenthetical citations), and a Works Cited page.

The two citations work in tandem: the citation in the text alerts the reader that you used a source. The reader can find more information about that source in the Works Cited page.

Again, to be MLA-compliant, you need BOTH citations!

If you used a book, this is simple. For the first reference, you use the name of the author and the page number. For example:

Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263)

If you use the same source twice in a row, you only have to refer to the author’s name once. For example:

Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263). Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

The same rules apply if you used a journal or magazine article on the subject.

If you have a print source that has no author, use a shortened version of the title and put it in quotes. Longer versions of the quote should go in italics.

Example of a shorter title:We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has “more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change.” (“Impact of Global Warming” 6).

Citing Sources in Text-PrintCiting Sources in Text-Print If you have a source that has multiple editions,

include additional information for clarification, using either a volume number, part, chapter, section or paragraph. For example:

Marx and Engels described human history as marked by class struggles (79; ch. 1).

This will help the person reading your paper if they have the same text but a different version.

If you have two sources with the same last name, distinguish them by using their first initial in the citation. If even the initials are the same, use the full name.

Although some medical ethicists claim that cloning will lead to designer children (R. Miller 12), others note that the advantages for medical research outweigh this consideration (A. Miller 46).

If you have a work with three authors or fewer, use each of their last names and the page number.

The authors state "Tighter gun control in the United States erode Second Amendment rights" (Smith, Yang, and Moore 76).

If you have a work with three authors or fewer, use each of their last names and the page number.

The authors state "Tighter gun control in the United States erode Second Amendment rights" (Smith, Yang, and Moore 76).

If you have a source with four or more authors, either list all of the last names, or use the term et al. Et al. is a Latin term meaning “and the rest.” Use the author listed first.

Legal experts counter Smith, Yang, and Moore's argument by noting that the current spike in gun violence in America compels law makers to adjust gun laws (Jones et al. 4).

If you use several books written by the same author, use a shortened version of the title with quotations, as well as the page number.

Lightenor has argued that computers are not useful tools for small children ("Too Soon" 38), though he has acknowledged elsewhere that early exposure to computer games does lead to better small motor skill development in a child's second and third year ("Hand-Eye Development" 17).

Citing Sources in Text-PrintCiting Sources in Text-Print If you use a source that has several different

volumes, and you cite more than one of those volumes, you need to distinguish which volume you used. For example: . . . as Quintilian wrote in Institutio Oratoria (1: 14-17). The 1 is the volume number; the 14-17 are the page numbers.

If you use only one of the volumes, cite as normal with the author and page number.

If you are quoting someone referred to in another work (also known as using an indirect source), use the term qtd. by. For example:

Ravitch argues that high schools are pressured to act as "social service centers, and they don't do that well" (qtd. in Weisman 259).

Electronic sources are handled differently than print sources, because often no authors are posted, and no page numbers are indicated.

Electronic sources include not just websites (though these are now the most common), but film (such as movies and TV shows), and radio interviews.

If using just the website name, you don’t need to full URL, just list the name of the website. For example, CNN.com, as opposed to http://www.cnn.com.

The Works Cited page should always be a separate printed page. Use the words Works Cited (you don’t need quotes), and center it at the top of the page.

Double space the citations, but don’t put spaces in between each citation.

If you obtained a print source (such as a Time magazine article) via an online database (such as those offered by DCCC), include the name of database in your citation. List the database name in italics.

You are no longer required to list the full URL! However, I still want to see it. So include these in angle brackets <>, with a period on the end.

You are now required to list the medium of the source. This will include Print, Web, Film, DVD, CD. These are listed at the very end of the citation.

In the next several slides, we’re going to go over how to cite books. We can’t go through every permutation (or we’ll never get home tonight!), but we will go over the ones I think you are most likely to face.

When using books as a source, you need to include the following items: the author name, the book title, the publication date, the publisher, the place of publication. This information can be found on the publisher’s page at the front of your book.

Works Cited-BooksWorks Cited-Books Follow this basic format

Author’s name, using the last name first (for example, Smith, Betty).

The title of the book in italics. For example, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

Place of publication, followed by a colon (:); the publisher, followed by a comma (,); and the year of publication, followed by a period. For example: New York: Harper & Row, 1947.

The medium of the source. For example: Print. This goes at the very end.

If you have more than one author, you place the first listed author first (last name followed by first name), then the name of the second author (first and last name). Then cite as normal.

For example: Gillespie, Paula, and Neal Lerner. The Allyn and

Bacon Guide to Peer Tutoring. Boston: Allyn, 2000. Print.

For example: Gillespie, Paula, and Neal Lerner. The Allyn and

Bacon Guide to Peer Tutoring. Boston: Allyn, 2000. Print.

If you use two books by the same author, you don’t have to list the author name twice. List the books in alphabetical order, and use three hyphens in place of the author name in the second instance of the citation.

For example:Palmer, William J. Dickens and New

Historicism. New York: St. Martin's, 1997. Print.

---. The Films of the Eighties: A Social History. Carbondale: Southern Illinois UP,

1993. Print.

If your book was originally written in a foreign language and was translated, you need to put both the author’s name and the translator’s name in your citation. The translator’s name goes after the title of the book.

For example:Foucault, Michel. Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason. Trans. Richard Howard. New York: Vintage-Random House, 1988. Print.

For books that have been republished, you need to include the year it was published and the year it was reprinted.
