The 8th edition of the MLA Handbook makes it easier than ever to cite images and multimedia sources. For any kind source you have, list these items in order to create a Works Cited entry:
- Author.
- Title of source. (whole items like books or films in italics, parts like chapter or article in quotes)
- Title of container, (website, database, anthology, etc.)
- Other contributors, (editor, illustrator, translator)
- Version,
- Number,
- Publisher,
- Publication date,
- Location.
In-text citations are also easy. In general, you need the author/creator last name and a page number or other location, like the time stamp on a video or audio source.
Example:
Rosenberg, Douglas (Director). Dancing on the Edge. Dance Online: Dance in Video, Stephanie Reinhart, Charles L. Reinhart, and Douglas Rosenberg (Producers), Volume 1, American Dance Festival, 1992.
(Rosenberg 0:15:32)
Example from the MLA on citing a photo located through a search engine such as Google.
