Quick Help: Citing works from websites (MLA)

  1. Provide the author of the work, if you can find one. End with a period.
  2. Give the title of the work you are citing, ending with a period. If the work is part of a larger container (such as a video on YouTube), put the title in quotation marks.
  3. If the title you identified is not the name of the website, list the website title, in italics, followed by a comma.
  4. If the site’s publisher or sponsor is different from the title of the site, identify the publisher or sponsor, followed by a comma. If the names are very similar, omit the publisher.
  5. Give the date of publication or latest update, followed by a comma.
  6. Give a permalink (if you can find one) or URL. End with a period.
  7. If the work does not include any publication date, end with “Accessed” and the day, month (abbreviated, except for May, June, or July), and year you accessed the source. End with a period. If you provided a date of publication, omit the access date.
