The MLA (Modern Language Association) format is just slightly different. You would still list all your
sources alphabetically by author’s last name or by the title of the work, if no author is given. You’ll also
notice that MLA makes use of underlining and quotation marks; APA does not. The list of references at
the end of an MLA-formatted paper is called the Works Cited. The download date is given after the date
of the work. The following examples are from Kirszner, Laurie G. and Stephen R. Mandell. The Pocket
Wadsworth Handbook. United States:Wadsworth Cengage Learning, 2008.

MLA: Electronic Source

LIFE VISION PORTFOLIO

Research for a Life Goal

Choose one or two life goals that require some amount of research. For example, if you are thinking of
transferring to another school, research some of your choices. If you are thinking of changing your field,
talk with someone in that field about job opportunities. Or, if you have been trying to add a new habit, like
exercising, or break an old habit, like smoking, do some research on how best to achieve your goal.
In other words, choose a goal, do some personal research, and incorporate what you find out into a plan.
