Guidelines for citing references

Basic in-text citation rules

The simplest way to do MLA in-text citation is to put all the sourced information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e. just before the period).

Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page.The author’s last name must appear either in the sentence or in parentheses immediately following the quotation or paraphrase.

Example 1 (for citing print sources):
Wordsworth state that Romantic poetry was mark by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263)
Romantic poetry is characterize by the ‘spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth, 263)
Both citations above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263) tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth.

Your Works Cited page, would indicate detail about the author Wordworth, as follows:
Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967
Citing internet sources:
When using an internet source, you must include the author’s name and name of the internet source in parentheses at the end of the sentence. For example:
“Wordsworth said romantic poetry is characterize by the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Taylor. Slant magazine)
On your Works Cited page, you must include a link to the article. For example:
www.Taylor/slantmagazine.com/wordworthpoetry/. 29 Sept.2019
Citing material from the Lessons of the CAN275 Course Site
“Inequality is the distinction between the haves and the have-nots” (Gregory, Lesson 5.)

On the work cited page you would include the following: Gregory, Bob. CAN275. Lesson #5, plus the page heading.
