MLA Format and Citation HELP!!!

It's that time of year, when research papers and projects abound. If, like so many before, you find yourself in need of some help don't despair! Here are some helpful links to get you through.

Noodle Tools: Citation Help for MLA or APA
This website will practically do all the work for you. At the bottom of the column titled "Free Software Tools" click the link that says NoodleBibExpress. Then choose the MLA format and choose the type of source you will be citing. The options are almost endless, but highlights include "interviews," "website," "film or video," and "online database." Most online databases, such as SIRS and EBSCO, will include the citation information for an article. However other types of sources will not be so accommodating.

This PDF was created by California State University: Los Angeles as a guide for their students. Luckily it can help you too. This guide gives you examples of how your paper should look, including the Works Cited page. It also gives examples of several types of citations including how to cite the source in your paper, parenthetical references.

Still lost? Stop by the library and ask for some help, what I don't know I can find out!
