Welcome back to the Library!

PMMs. Belevski’s CHC2D

We’re back for more MLA Citation fun! Now that you have the Works Cited page under control, let’s talk about in-text citing. In English classes you may have cited novels or short stories or poems parenthetically using MLA, which would involve the author and page number from the text.

For Ms. Belevski’s class your sources will be online so that changes things a little bit.

To embed quotes, there are a few simple guidelines to remember:

  1. No lonely quotes!
  2. Run-In and/or Run-Out
  3. Peppering a quote
  4. DOT.DOT.DOT
  5. COPY COPY (AUTHOR PAGE) PERIOD.

Finally, when in doubt, OWL Purdue is a great resource for all of your citation needs.
