Citing begins as soon as you find appropriate books and journal articles for your research paper. It's a good idea to keep track of all the information you'll need--authors, titles, publication information, pages used. While citation managers help out, you want to be sure you have everything as you work. Discovering you're missing something the night before the paper is due can be a nightmare.
Using the information about the item you want to cite, determine the type--for example, a book with two authors, an edited book, a journal article, a website.
Find the MLA Style template for the type and then fill in the information you have. That's it!
The databases you use to find articles for your research will help you format the citations into a particular style like MLA. This functionality is usually incorporated in the tools that print, email, or save the citations. You will have the opportunity to select the style you want so the list you print, receive or save is in the desired format. The following website, How to Use the EBSCO Cite Feature, has more information about this process in EBSCOhost databases.
