Introduction

Welcome to the DeVry University - Kansas City MLA Works Cited Examples page.  The links on this site will provide information on how to prepare a Works Cited list for papers written in the Modern Language Association (or MLA) format.  This site focuses on some of the most common questions received at our library regarding the creation of a Works Cited list.  Click on the links listed above to display information for creating an MLA Works Cited list.  Examples will be listed (in bold print) for several kinds of resources that are frequently used by DeVry Kansas City students.  The links listed in the Works Cited section will include examples of Works Cited entries for other types of sources, as well as information on how to cite your sources within the text of your paper (parenthetical citations). While using this tutorial, please keep in mind the following information:

• The examples in the tutorial are listed with bold print and increased indentation for emphasis purposes.  In your actual Works Cited list, the entries should not be listed in bold print.  Follow the guidelines in the 6th edition of the MLA Handbook regarding the standard indentation for an actual Works Cited list.
• Your professor may have other specific requirements for submitted papers (abstracts, annotated bibliographies, etc.).  Check with your professor to make sure your paper meets their additional requirements.
• Throughout this web site, lists are available that detail the types of information that can be included in a citation.  If the work you're citing does not include every listed criteria, create the citation using the information that is available.
