Place the citation in parentheses after the quote. DOUBLE SPACE everything Patterns for In-text Citations Sample In-text Citations Single Author (Author page #). “The 1897 Colorado blizzard was the most devastating on record” (Bolling 2). Two Authors (1st author and 2nd author page #). “Cinematic prisms transmogrify individual existences” (Uhlman and Bergman 347). Three Authors (1st author, 2nd author, and 3rd author page #). “These social facts find a new view of Mexico and its people” (Poll, Pit, and Diaz 22-23). More than Three Authors (Author et al. page #). “The quadratic equation symbolizes proximity to the divine” (Spencer et al. 354). No Author – Listed by Title (Shortened Title for Book page #). “Initial documentation was formulated by Kate Turabian” (Chicago Manual 3). Article with Only One Page (Author. If no author, give “Shortened Title for Article”). Eliminate page number. “The spine first bends through disc stress” (“Spinal Stenosis”). Internet Document with Pages or Section Numbers not to be found Eliminate Page #(s) from In-text Citation (Author. If no author, give Shortened Title). “Steinbeck proposed that the American political structure demonized the common man” (Stephan). Rule: When using the author’s name in a sentence, give only the page number(s) in the citation. Bolling states, “These social facts support a new view of relationships between local friends ones across-the-miles” (2). Rule: Long Quotation: Do not place quotation marks around a quote that is longer than four lines. Instead, indent the entire quote ten spaces. Music from Mexico is varied, with a complex structural background. Pointing out that the corrido cannot be reduced to its major prototypes, Martinez argues for its origin in the poetry of the indigenous cultures of Mexico. (Poll, Pit, and Diaz 350-51) Rule: Paraphrasing: Use the same rules for documenting paraphrases as the ones for documenting in-text citations. Do not enclose a paraphrase with quotation marks. Bolling indicates that distance forges even stronger relationships, but only for those friends whose connections are durable and genuine (3-5).     Note: If you are unsure or have a source not listed here, see Mrs. Curran, your English teacher, check the MLA Handbook, or go to the MLA website.   Source: Quent Carter, Ph.D. Solano College Library September 30, 2009 Used with permission Revised by Gloria Woods December 29, 2009                                           Example of a Works Cited page   Armintor, Bob. “The Search for Hidden Life.” Newsweek 22 Nov. 1999: 82-93.
