MLA style is a popular citation style for English language and literature. Many databases have a suggested citation feature that will let you see a citation in MLA style. Use that to your advantage. Virgo, the catalog, also has this feature -- under Item Actions choose Cite and look for MLA when you are in a book or other item's record.
Below are resources that can help you when you're formatting your bibliography and papers.

Ask a librarian if you have questions about MLA or other citation styles.
