Research & Resource Websites:
The Owl at Purdue: MLA Formatting and Style Guide - this is an excellent resource for basic formatting for MLA style for your paper. And they do show the proper and updated guidelines for formatting works cited (without underlining citations, but rather italicizing them). They also show examples for just about every type of citation you might use. It's very easy to read, as well, and very user friendly.
Bedford St. Martin's Research and Documentation Online: Useful literary resource for finding other research materials when doing major papers. Contains databases, indexes, websites, and references books for literature.
MLA citations: How to cite sources within your paper!
MLA manuscript format: formatting, pagination, long quotes, etc.
Helpful Grammatical Resource Websites:
The Owl at Purdue: The Apostrophe / Not quite sure about the use of apostrophes? This site gives great, easy to read examples of when and how to use apostrophes: 1) to form possessives of nouns 2) to show the omission of letters 3) to indicate certain plurals of lowercase letters.
And of course, Columbia College's Writing Center - where you can get help IN PERSON on anything you are having difficulty with! |
