especially relating to how to cite internet sources. Also, for MLA, is citing the source the same as putting an endnote number after a quote?

thanks a lot. I never thought about that. :|

If I could find good sources, would I be sitting here asking everyone here for information? Ive already done a search.
Go post in a nef-related thread and stay outta mine

btw, a nef is someone who posts useless messages to bump up their post count and move up the status ladder. For further information, contact Adul, the Prince of Nef

just a note, you really can find MLA information if you actually do a search in google or whatnot...

MLA = modern language association.

in terms of MLA citation, it's:

"QUOTE" (last name, page number)

a works cited list as opposed to bibliography (difference is that wc = works you quoted, and bib is works you read for information which you may not have quoted), is usually required. you'll need to read up on the various forms this can take with respect to the medium of the source: periodical, audio tape, movie, internet, book, etc...

the easiest thing to find is most likely how to cite a website... (note that for this 2 dates, if given, are required, one is when you visited, and the other is when it was last updated).

general comment

MLA is not the only format out there, it's a format used by most humanities courses, writing, history. the sciences have a different form, aap? or something.

MLA is a guidline in practice. that is, the way your paper should be is determined by the person teaching the course, or giving the requirements. unless otherwise told, i generally use my own adaptation of MLA format, much of which is in line with the 14th (i think, it's the gold one) edition printed manual, which i own =P

you could've also done a search in this forum (older than 45 days)...
