Citing can be difficult, especially when it seems like the "rules" change all the time. So, how to know how to cite your sources? Here are some quick tips and resources to make your job as easy as possible.
- First, gather the information you'll need for every source you'll need to cite. These include the author's name, the title of the source, and where you found the source.
- A crucial concept to understand about citing in MLA style is that MLA citations are focused on the concept of Containers, with each piece fitting inside another one. The biggest Container is the location of the source. You can find more on the concept of containers at MLA's Quick Guide, previewed and linked below.
