Cite Resources Using MLA Style

The MLA Handbook is located in the general stacks under the call number LB 2369 G52, as well as on the Reference shelves under Ref LB 2369 G52 (books in the general stacks may be checked out).

Important Note =>When using a magazine or journal article from a database, such as Infotrac Onefile, you must cite it differently than you would if you used a paper copy.

Here is an example of a citation in MLA style for a source found in the database Infotrac Onefile.

Phinney, Alan.  "Cinderella Cactus."  Sunset  Oct. 2001. 
            Infotrac Onefile.  Gale Group.  Cuyamaca College Lib.,
            El Cajon, CA.  17 Dec. 2003
            <
http://web6.infotrac.galegroup.com>

The above citation in MLA Style would be very different if you found a copy of this article in an actual magazine.

Phinney, Alan.  "Cinderella Cactus."
       Sunset  Oct. 2001: 78-80.
