MLA Documentation
MLA documentation is the preferred style for citing sources in the humanities and fine arts. It is important to cite all borrowed materials in your papers so that your work will not be considered plagiarized. Here we have provided some examples of the types of citations that are mostly used in college essay writing. Along with those examples we have provided a sample essay that uses in text citations along a completed works cited page.
