HINTS

• "Book" is the default source type. If you are creating a website citation, make sure to select the "Website" button before pasting a URL to cite.
• The EasyBib website function does NOT work when citing online library database resources such as EBSCOhost articles. When citing database resources, use the database's build-in citation generator.
• This tool is a starting point for creating MLA citations, but it is NOT perfect. Make sure to compare what it generates with proper format, as detailed in the OWL MLA guide.
