MLA CItation Help
Back in day, people had to create bibliographies by hand. However, we have several resources that are useful for creating citations. Work smarter, not harder.
Keep in mind: these are just computer programs. They will only generate a citation based on the information available. You will need to try and find other information to create the most complete citation possible! Also, citations may also not be available, so you will also need to be able to complete them on your own.
Be sure that your citations are in MLA format! They should not be numbered or in a bulleted list. Also, the second line of a citation should be a hanging indent.
