Follow MLA style for entering bibliographic information for online databases, such as LexisNexis and ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center). Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) explains that many articles in online databases originate in print journals and periodicals. For that reason. database bibliographies resemble those for periodicals.
Provide the title of the database italicized, the medium of publication and the date of access. For example, a bibliography for an article from ERIC will read, "Willhauck, Susan. "God's Stuff: The Constructive Powers of Chaos for Teaching Religion." Teaching Theology & Religion 13.1 (Jan 2010): 64-70. Web. 15 Feb. 2010." Omit the quotation marks around the entire entry. Italicize the journal title.
Cite email messages, including email interviews, according to MLA formatting for electronic resources. Enter the email message author and put terms in the Subject line in quotation marks. Provide the recipient's name, date the message was sent and the publication type. Following Purdue OWL examples for email message bibliographies, an entry would read "Berlin, Valerie. "Re: Indigo Children." Message to the author. 16 Jan. 2011. E-mail." Do not place the entire entry in quotation marks.
Provide bibliographic data for online scholarly journals. Include online article pages, medium (for example, Web) and the date you accessed the online journal. This type of bibliographic entry will read "Holland, Scott. "Theopoetics" CrossCurrents 60.1 (2010): 4 - 5. Fri. 7 Mar. 2010." Do not place the entire entry in quotation marks. Italicize the online journal name.
