The Modern Language Association publishes the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (6th Edition) with complete information about giving credit to the resources you use. Consult this and other handbooks in the Fairview Library Media Center.

Arrange the sources you referred to in your paper in alphabetical order by the author�s last name or the first important word in the title. Double space all entries. Underline or use italics for book titles. Generally, an entry has three main divisions--author, title and publication information--each followed by a period and one space. All information following the first line should be indented about a half inch or five spaces. Use the samples below as models.
