10 Source Types Summary
We have looked at books, journal and magazine articles and webpages, but there are many more source types. You can see some other examples in the image below.
Remember the Following:
- the first step in creating a MLA citation is to identify the type of source you are using
- after figuring out the type of source you are citing, you can move on to identifying the information needed to create a citation for that source
- you must cite all sources from which you take information, no matter what they are
- you always need to cite your sources whether you write an essay, create a video, do a presentation in class or use it in any other way
