Note: For your Works Cited list, all citations should be double spaced and have a hanging indent.
A "hanging indent" means that each subsequent line after the first line of your citation should be indented by 0.5 inches.
These citations on this page are not directly from the MLA Handbook but are recommendations by Seneca Libraries.
Access Date
For all content found on the Web, you must list the date you first viewed the resource. This comes last in a citation.
Authors/Editors
An author can be a person but can also be an organization, or company. These are called group or corporate authors.
The italicized corporate name after the title or description is different from the italicized name of the database.
Database Names
The name of the database will usually apear at the top of the search screen. Note that ProQuest and EBSCOhost are NOT database names, they are database providers. The name of the database will appear separately.
Dates
The format of all dates is: Date Month (shortened) Year. E.g. 5 Sept. 2012.
If no date is listed, write n.d.
Page Numbers
If no page number is listed, write n. pag. in the Works Cited list.>
Titles
Capitalize the first letter of every important word in the title. You do not need to capitalize words such as: in, of, or an.
