How to Citing sources for your research project

- Go to citation machine and select MLA (you will see options for both print & non-print sources)

- Select what type of source you used (book, CD ROM, web page, print encyclopedia, magazine, etc.) and fill out all the information you can.

- Hit submit and it will bring up a gray area.

-Copy & paste gray area onto whatever document you are using (ex. Microsoft Word) and make into a works cited page. (make sure that if it goes into more than 1 line you reverse indent by entering and hitting tab.)

- Alphabetize all your sources

- Hi-light location and copy & past onto works cited document.

If you follow these simple steps you should end up with a great, organized, and proper works cited page.
