If you viewed the artwork on the museum`s website, treat the website name as a container and specify the website publisher and URL at the end of the quote. Omit publisher information if it matches the name of the website. Note the period after the date below and not the comma: this is because the date refers to the original creation of the table and not to its publication on the site. Therefore, the MLA considers it an “optional element”. The Purdue OWL family of locations. The Writing Lab and OWL at Purdue and Purdue U, 2008, owl.english.purdue.edu/owl. Retrieved 23 April 2008.

This is the general information that MLA suggests in each Works Cited entry. In your citation, the elements should be listed in the following order: Interviews generally fall into two categories: published print or broadcast interviews and unpublished (personal) interviews, although interviews may also appear in other similar formats such as email format or as a web document. If you have cited more than one work by a particular author, sort the entries alphabetically by title and use three hyphens instead of the author`s name for each entry after the first: If page numbers are not available, use By. or leave. to designate paragraph numbers. Use this instead of the abbreviation p.

or pp. Par. would be used for a single paragraph, while pars. would be used for a range of two or more paragraphs. If you want to highlight a specific aspect of the show, add that specific information. For example, if you write about a particular character during a particular episode, you include both the actor`s name and the creator`s name. Only one Web page must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Album names are printed in italics. Specify the name of the manufacturer of the record followed by the release date. If you want to highlight a particular character for the duration of the show, follow this format.

If the work is published using a username, use that username for the author. Also note: The quote for An Inconvenient Truth below assumes that the film was cited by its title in the text.
