Help with MLA style bibliography:

MLA stands for Modern Language Association. This association has a set of guidelines for writing papers. The guidelines include a style for making in-text citations and a bibliography.

To make an in-text citation:

• After you have written something word for word you must put the phrase in quotations and then cite it.
• To cite in MLA style, the author's last name and the page number belong in parentheses after the sentence. A period goes outside the parentheses.

Basic in-text citation:

In the woods we see the " honey bees flying in dizzy circles" (Dannenberry 23).

• If you work the name of the author in your sentence, you don't have to put it in the parentheses.

According to Dannenberry, we see the "honey bees flying in dizzy circles" (23).

• If you are quoting a question, the question mark goes in the quotations and another period goes out side the parentheses.

Allison's feelings were shown in her response; " Where in the world do you expect me to put this?" (Samtski 475).

To make a bibliography:

• In MLA, the author of the sources comes first in the entry. Entries are put in alphabetical order. 
• If there is no author, put the entry in alphabetical order according to its title excluding A, An and The.
• Indent lines after the first one.

Basic bibliographic references:

Author's Name. The Title is in italics or underlined, Name the city where the book was published: Name of publisher, Year.
