How do I cite it?

MLA Style

  • The Owl at Purdue is one of the best known web based authorities for style questions. The only difference between what they suggest and what The MLA Handbook recommends is that where they use italics, the Handbook uses underlining. (Source: Purdue University).
  • MLA Works Cited Documentation is an excellent site created by a high school English teacher (Source: www.studyguide.org).
  • How to Cite Electronic Sources does an excellent job of describing how to cite entire websites, cartoons, films, online legal matericals, maps, newspapers etc., all available as part of the American Memory Project. (Source: Library of Congress).

Useful for either style

  • Son of Citation Machine will lay it out for you, as long as you are not using anything too unusual. (Source: David Warlick & The Landmark Project).

APA Style

  • Creating an APA Reference List does an excellent job of setting out the basics of a Reference List in APA Style (Source: University of Wisconsin Writing Center).
  • The Owl at Purdue equally as useful and as well maintained as the MLA site recommended previously (Source: Purdue University).
