2 When should I start my Works Cited or Bibliography page?
Since it’s the last page of my project, I should do it last…right? WRONG! Librarians recommend that you start a document when you begin your research. Collecting the citation information for the resources as you use them will save you time in the end!

3 I don’t know where to begin!

4 At your school library 

5 Your library has: Books Computers Online Databases
Helpful and knowledgeable Librarians!

6 What are the changes to MLA 7.0?
No more underlining – titles and name of online product are now italicized. No more long URLs – only use URL of resource if the citation information does not lead easily to the source. Continuous pagination – no longer required. Publication medium – include the medium type such as print, Web, performance, etc. New abbreviations – for missing information, such as n.d. for no date, n.p. for no publisher.
