When you write a paper or create a presentation, you must tell your readers or listeners where you found the information you used. This is both to credit the ideas of others and to let your readers or listeners know where to find more information on your topic. (You've created interest with your fine paper or presentation!) The sources listed below will help you follow MLA style, but if you need more help, make a half-hour appointment with the Academic Success Center (formerly known as the Tutoring Center). They are the campus experts!
