MLA Works Cited

(Making what you used to call a bibliography)

Base XP: 30

Learning Target(s):

  • Use acknowledgements and citations to recognize intellectual property rights

  • Use the conventions of Canadian spelling, grammar, and punctuation proficiently and as appropriate to the context

The first part of using MLA formatting properly is knowing how to use In-Text Citations.

The second part of citing your sources is providing a Works Cited page at the end of your document. This information will help the reader, should they want to look up or read the cited information for themselves.

The MLA style guide has information about almost every type of source you might come across. In general you will find the following information for each resource in the works cited list.

Here is an example for an article from the New York Times:

Dean, Cornelia. "Executive on a Mission: Saving the Planet." The New York Times, 22 May 2007, www.nytimes.com/2007/05/22/science/earth/22ander.html?_r=0. Accessed 12 May 2016.
