Citing Books in Your Bibliography

As we mentioned in chapter 1 when you use information or quotations from a book or other material, you need to cite the source in the bibliography of your paper. The information you'll need to create your citation includes:

• author and/or editor
• title of the book
• name of publisher 
• publication date
• page number on which information appears

Visit the library's MLA citation page for more information and examples illustrating how to correctly cite your sources in MLA format.
