For specific details and examples on citing sources within a paper and on creating a Works Cited page, mouseover the "MLA Style" tab above and choose the appropriate subpage.
The MLA Scholar tab has been subsumed into this section. The style of citation is the same. The MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing mainly differs in describing layout and writing styles. Since that is beyond the scope of this LibGuide, all MLA citation notes have been merged into this tab.
Additional information on MLA style may be found at these websites:
When adding a title that is in a foreign languge, follow these basic rules regardless of citation style:
For German, capitalize the first word and all nouns.
For French, capitalize THROUGH the first noun in the title.
For Italian and other languages, capitalize just the first word.
(NOTE: Always capitalize all proper nouns.)
See page 105-113 in the MLA 7th edition for more information about capitalizing non-English words.
