Transcript MLA Documentationx - Utah Electronic High School

 In
the next few slides, I am going to give
you some “secrets” to MLA
documentation for some different
resources used in this class
 Remember that there are different styles
to documenting sources but learning one
style will give you the tools to be able to
use different methods as well
 The
OWL (online writing lab) from
Purdue University has some great
resources on the following site
 http://owl.english.purdue.edu/

When you click
on the MLA
source page,
you will be
able to access
examples of
MLA
documentation
on the left side
of the screen
 From
an article
in EBSCO, you
can find the
MLA
documentation
information
 This is a full text
article from
EBSCO
 In
the left had column, there is a link titled
“Cite”
 That
link will bring up a box with a list of
documentation styles where you can find MLA
 You
can copy and paste that information
onto your works cited page as a
reference
 FYI: You will need to double check each
time because occasionally the citation is
wrong
 When
you use an article from SIRS, the MLA
citation can be found at the bottom of the
article
 Microsoft Word
also has a nice
feature to help
with citing
sources.
 Use the
Reference tab
and then click
on “Insert
Citation”
Make sure
the style
is set to
MLA
 When you
click on
the
“Insert”
you can
select
“Add New
Source”

 This
box will appear where you can enter your
source information
 Hopefully
this helps but as always, let me
know if you have any questions
