MLA In-Text Citations

Instructional Video from the HC_IMC

In-Text Citations are simply the first word or words of each Works Cited entry! 

Always put your in-text citation in parentheses and remember that it is inserted at the end of a sentence or group of sentences that reflect information from that source, EVEN IF THE IDEAS ARE IN YOUR OWN WORDS!

If you have included a direct quote, put your in-text after the quote, but before the period!
