MLA STYLE CITATIONS

Based on the MLA Handbook, 9th Edition

 Title your reference list Works Cited (center-align at top of page).

 Capitalize the first letter of each principal word in the title and subtitle.
 If no author is named, begin the entry with the title; for the in-text citation use a shortened version of the title in quotation marks.
 If the title and publisher are the same, provide just the title.
 For online sources with no publication/posting date, give the date you accessed the source. If there is a publication date, you do not
need to provide a date of access.
