67 5. MLA Citation and Works Cited Page

Your researched information requires you to use MLA format. That means using a specific kind of parenthetical citation that includes two things: source and page or section (Smith 89). This will refer to a specific entry in the Works Cited page: Smith, John. When We Were Young and It Mattered. New York: Harcourt, Brace. 1998.
