MLA Style (Modern Language Association) is used typically in the humanities. In English 101, MLA will be the main citation style used when citing sources in a paper. MLA Style requires in-text citations and a works cited page.
When using a database or website to locate sources, students often copy the citation generated on them directly. Be careful, even though this maybe a helpful feature; sometimes the citations are incorrectly formatted.
