Welcome to the library, Ms. McMulkin’s class!
Today you’re here to do some research connected to your novel.
Two great databases are Global Issues in Context and Canadian Encyclopedia, both found in the Virtual Library. They are password-protected when you’re at home so make sure you know where to find them in the Virtual Library. (Hint: look for the Orange Passwords Icon)
An external source that provides a good, neutral overview of countries and their history, political situations, etc is the CIA World Factbook.
As a reminder, it’s a good idea to keep track of your information and the sites you use so that you are easily able to format your Works Cited page in MLA.

Today we will review how to create a Works Cited list as well as how to embed quotes within an essay/report following MLA school of citation
In English classes past you may have cited novels or short stories or poems parenthetically using MLA, which involves the author’s last name and page number from the text. For your law assignment, you will likely be using online sources and therefore will NOT be using page numbers.
Just a few reminders:
To embed quotes, there are a few simple guidelines to remember:
- No lonely quotes!
- Run-In and/or Run-Out
- Peppering a quote
- DOT.DOT.DOT
- COPY COPY (AUTHOR PAGE) PERIOD.
Your parenthetical citations will form a “roadmap” for your teacher that will take them to your Works Cited page.
Therefore, you will need to include a Works Cited page using MLA school of Citation. It is crucial to properly reference information that is not your own in order to give credit where it’s due and also to avoid PLAGIARISM.
Here is a handy video that gives a good visual of how to embed quotes in MLA. One change in the video is that you will create a Works Cited page, not a bibliography. Some people use the term interchangeably.
Using the following information will put you on the right track to creating a Works Cited page to be proud of!
