Using MLA form

Collect information from all sources. See MLA guide on Website for most

common sources.Generally the author’s last name is the first

information needed. Invert the author’s first and last name so

that the last name is the first information seen.

If no author is given (as often happens in periodicals or online sources) , use the “Title” of the source.

Determine the correct alphabetical order of the sources.

When recording each entry, begin at the left margin.

All other information is given across the line to the right margin– not as a list.

Double space entire page. Additional lines for that source will start

at five spaces from the left margin.
