MLA reminders

 Author names- Last Name, First Name 

"Article Titles" go in quotation marks Journal and Book Titles go in italics

MLA does not use URLs as part of citations

Pay very close attention to capitalization and punctuation, citation is an exercise in anal retentiveness

Remember to organize your Works Cited page alphabetically by author

Don't forget to hanging indent 

 

Essentially doing a citation is like doing a jigsaw puzzle, only less fun. Use a guide to find a picture of what it should look like, then use your source to find the pieces and put them together to match the example.
