2 MLA Format 2 How to do research?

3 Research: What to look for? Look for scholarly or legitimate websites. How do you know what website to use? Is the article from a common source? Is there an author? Is the author a professional? Publication date? Does it have ads on the page? Does the information seem appropriate and professional? Use your common sense.

4 DON’T USE THESE WEBSITES!!!! No Wikipedia No blogs No social media No comments or responses from the public.

5 Scholarly Websites Google created an engine for articles written by professionals called “Google Scholar.” Newspapers (Fox, CNC, LA Times…etc.) History channel, Discovery channel, museum websites…etc. Websites that end with.gov,.edu, or.org are usually scholarly websites.

9 Online Sources- What to look for? Author and/or editor names (if available) Article name in quotation marks (if applicable) Title of the Website, project, or book in italics. Any version numbers available, including revisions, posting dates, volumes, or issue numbers. Publisher information, including the publisher name and publishing date. Take note of any page numbers (if available). Medium of publication. Date you accessed the material. URL (if required, or for your own personal reference; MLA does not require a URL).

11 How to cite different sources? MLA FORMAT

12 How to write different sources? Title of books are italicized not underlined when being typed. (if handwritten, then underline) Example: Of Mice and Men Online articles, print articles, short stories…. You place in quotation marks. Example: “The Lottery”

13 In- text Citations: You mention the source in your paragraph. 1.Author’s name is stated in the sentence OR parenthesis. 2. Page number is always in parenthesis. Examples: Steinbeck introduces the theme of the American dream through Lennie’s wish to live off “the fatta of the lan’ ” (25). “Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if need be, taken by the strong” (Connell, 225). How to Cite in your paper?

14 Citing an online source with no author We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has "more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change..." ("Impact of Global Warming" 6).

15 Citing online sources (not scholarly) Format: Author. Name of website. Name of article. Date published or last modified. Medium. Date accessed. URL of website. (optional) Example: ProCon.org. "Top 10 Pros and Cons" ProCon.org. 18 May 2012. Web. 1 Dec. 2013.. <http://euthanasia.procon.org/view.resourc e.php?resourceID=000126>.

16 Citing Scholarly Articles Format: Last name, first name. “title of Article.” Title of Journal volume (year): pages. Title of website. Print of medium. Date you researched information. Example: Langhamer, Claire. “Love and Courtship in Mid-Twentieth-Century England.” Historical Journal 50.1 (2007): 173-96. ProQuest. Web. 27 May 2009.

17 Citations with more than one author Only 2 authors: Last name, first name and first name and last name. Name of book. City of Publication: Publisher, year. Medium. Example: Gillespie, Paula, and Neal Lerner. The Allyn and Bacon Guide to Peer Tutoring. Boston: Allyn, 2000. Print.

18 Citing with more than one author More than 2 authors: Example: Wysocki, Anne Frances, et al. Writing New Media: Theory and Applications for Expanding the Teaching of Composition. Logan: Utah State UP, 2004. Print. *Et al: Latin for “and others”

19 Citing the Bible In your first parenthetical citation, you want to make clear which Bible you're using (and underline or italicize the title), as each version varies in its translation, followed by book (do not italicize or underline), chapter and verse. For example: Ezekiel saw "what seemed to be four living creatures," each with faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle (New Jerusalem Bible, Ezek. 1.5-10).

20 QUICK TIP Most websites nowadays already have the MLA citation done for you, you just have to look for it and copy and paste. http://euthanasia.procon.org/view.resource.php ?resourceID=000126http://euthanasia.procon.org/view.resource.php ?resourceID=000126

21 Works Cited Remember a Works Cited page is always the last page of your paper. It is titled Works Cited not bibliography or references. All references need to be in ABC order, if there is no author alphabetize by name of article. Do not NUMBER OR BULLET sources. Use hanging line.
