Writing a Bibliography: MLA Format. Below are standard formats and examples for basic bibliographic information recommended by the Modern Language Association (MLA). For more information on the MLA format, see http://www.mla.org/style_faq.

Other commonly used formats, used by other disciplines, are APA Style and Chicago Style. Citing Sources in MLA. You can cite a source with a direct quotation, or with a paraphrase or summary. Usually a paper will incorporate all three methods, particularly when multiple sources are cited. MLA uses parentheses to cite sources. Quoting.
