MLA Formatting
The Modern Language Association (MLA) is the group that defines the standards and rules for research in the humanities (English, history, etc). We're not writing papers according to MLA format, but we are using their rules when it comes to formatting your list of sources. Here are some links to help you sort out how to cite your sources properly.
