Webpages & More
This page provides works-cited-list examples for web pages and other digital sources.
For more examples and information on citing books, visit the MLA Style Center or consult Chapter 5 of the MLA Handbook, 9th Edition.
Author(s). "Title." Title of container (self contained if book), Other contributors (translators or editors), Version (edition), Number (vol. and/or no.), Publisher, Publication Date, Location (pages, paragraphs and/or URL, DOI or permalink). 2nd container’s title, Other contributors, Version, Number, Publisher, Publication date, Location, Date of Access (if applicable).
Notes
- An access date for an online work should be provided if the work lacks a publication date or if you suspect the work has been altered or removed. For scholarly journal articles, access dates are generally omitted.
- Include a URL or web address to help readers locate your sources. MLA only requires the www. address, so eliminate all https:// when citing URLs.
- Because web addresses are not static (i.e., they change often) and because documents sometimes appear in multiple places on the web, MLA encourages the use of citing containers such as Youtube, JSTOR, Spotify, or Netflix in order to easily access and verify sources.
- If a URL runs more than three full lines or is longer than the rest of the entry, truncate it. When truncating, always retain at least the host. For example, this URL
