Guidelines to Works Cited Page-- MLA style uses two methods for citing borrowed material
within the text.

1. The author and page number of the source are identified immediately following the borrowed

material.

2. The author is identified in the text and the page reference is given immediately following the

borrowed material.

Use the following guidelines when writing with parenthetical citations.

1. Keep the citations concise, but provide all necessary information.

2. Use an author’s last name in the first and subsequent in-text citations. Use an author’s first

initial and last name if two authors in the Works Cited list share the same last name.

3. Place any punctuation marks in the text immediately following the closing parenthesis of the

citation.

4. Include a page reference for the borrowed material.

Avoid Right-Side Justification. If you use a word processor to prepare your Works Cited list,

turn off the right-side justification to avoid disrupting your spacing and your placement of

punctuation marks.
