Exercice 2

Directions:

For items #1-10 below, use the information provided to locate the source in either the college Library Catalog or the Online Databases. Once you find the source, provide a citation for it in the proper MLA format (that is, as the source would appear in a Works Cited listing).

Before starting, take note:

• The citations provided in the Library Catalog and the Online Databases are often outdated, incomplete, or simply incorrect. DO NOT copy and paste info that you find. Build your own citation, following the guides and models.

• Be sure to follow the new 8th edition of the MLA Handbook. 

• Newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals are often referred to as periodicals in reference guides, such as the Purdue OWL.

• Volume and issue information is only given in citations for scholarly journals, not for newspapers or magazines; for those, you simply give the date of publication.

• All electronic items (those freely online or through a subscription database) should be followed by the date that you accessed the materials (“Accessed [day month year]”).

• For the items below in EBSCO databases, please also use this generic URL: www.ebscohost.com.

• For the items below in EBSCO databases, you must list both the name of the database used and the publisher of the database (unfortunately, the Purdue OWL does not clarify this).  
Here is an example of how that looks in a complete citation:

Reich, Robert. “The Political Roots of Widening Inequality.” American Prospect, vol. 26, no. 2, Spring 2015, pp. 26-30. Social Sciences Full Text, EBSCOhost, www.ebscohost.com. Accessed 2 June 2018.

Using the Library Catalog find and create MLA citations for the following:

1. A book about The Simpsons, published by Palgrave in 2012.

2. A book about glaciers, written by Vivien Gornitz.

          

3. A co-edited collection of essays about zombies published by McFarland in 2011.
