7th Edition MLA Formatting: List of Works Cited (video lesson)

This vidcast introduces the viewers to the basics of MLA style documentation, focusing on the list of works cited.  While this is the 7th edition, with each update to a documentation style, very little changes, and so this is a good foundation to begin with if you are using MLA documentation style.

NOTE: No matter what documentation style you use, you will ALWAYS
include the full URL for any scholarly sources that you find on the Internet
when posting them to your paper in our class.
If you are not in my course, ask your instructor for his/her preference.
Also, see the note below.

What About Recent Changes to the Documentation Style?

Most
instructors will appreciate this habit, as well, no matter what 'recent'
changes have been made to your documentation style's formatting guidelines,
since instructors need to review online sources that you post to your papers,
and so providing the exact link will be appreciated by your instructor.

Will my Instructor Like Seeing the URL?

Furthermore,
you will be less likely to receive a reduction of points from an instructor if
he/she is able to directly go to the source rather than having to search and
then guess as to what site you took your content from.
