Academic papers require exact documentation. For our purposes, we will use MLA (Modern
Language Association) documentation style. Any handbook goes into detail about how to cite
traditional sources on your Works Cited page. (A Works Cited page is
the last page of your essay. It lists in alphabetical order the author, title, and page
numbers, among other things. Click here to see an example.) Below
you will find help with citing electronic sources.
Use the following to help with citing Internet
sources.
