Today we learned about citing online resources using the MLA citation format. When doing a research paper for a class you need to give credit to your sources by citing them in the correct format. Even if your research does not have to do with school, you should still cite your sources so you can go back and find it later. You should cite your sources in a well known citation format, for example, the MLA format and the ALA format. The MLA format and the ALA format are different kinds of style formats for all Internet information. For all academic work, you should always check with your instructor about the type of citation format they want.
