MLA Style (Modern Language Association) is used typically in the humanities. In English 101, MLA will be your main citation style used when citing a paper. It requires in-text citations and a works cited page.

When using a database or website to locate sources, students often copy directly the citation generated on them. Be careful! Even though this maybe a helpful feature, sometimes the citations are incorrectly formatted.
