How to Write an Internet MLA Style Bibliography

Created in 1985, MLA or the Modern Language Association publishes an academic style guide that provides criteria for formatting and writing research papers for English and Liberal Arts studies. At the end of every research paper is a bibliography or works cited. This is essentially a list of all the resources that were used to cite information for the paper. When citing Internet sources it is necessary to use the proper citation format because it is slightly different from how books and magazines are cited.
