MLA: Works Cited<\/h1>\nIn an MLA paper, the sources are listed at the end of the paper on the Works Cited page. Sources should be in alphabetical order by author\u2019s last name or the title if there is no author.\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9rXoM4eW7_4\n\nThe formatting for Works Cited entries generally follows this pattern:\n
\n
Author. Title of Source. Title of Container (self contained if a book), Other contributors (translators or editors), Version (edition), Number (vol. and\/or no.), Publisher, Publication date, Location (pages, paragraphs, URL, or DOI). 2nd container's title, other contributors, version, number, publisher, publication date, location, date of access (if applicable).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nA \"container\" is a larger work that a source is found within. For example, when citing a chapter in a book, the name of the chapter would be the title of the source and the name of the book would be the title of the container. Another example might be a page on a website. The page is the source, and the website is the container. An article in a newspaper would be the source, and the newspaper would be the container.\n\nSince the items needed for each source doesn't change, citing every type of source is the same. If one of the items needed is missing or doesn't exist, just skip it.\n\n\"\"\n\n \n\n\"\"\n\n \n\n\"\"\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
