MLA and APA

This is from the MLA site.

Note: It is probably best to start at the main site and choose "MLA Style." Then choose "Frequently Asked Questions about MLA Style." Finally, scroll down to "How do I document sources from the World Wide Web in my works-cited list?"  The reason for this is because the site uses frames for the convenience of the site creator and not the audience.

From the APA site:
Citing Sources from the World Wide Web in APA Style

From the Lander University Library site:

Sample Citations for MLA and APA print and electronic sources

Citing the Internet: Find help citing sources from the Internet using MLA, APA, Chicago, CBE, and Turabian formats

The Citation Machine: Provides fill-in forms for a variety of publication types, and converts to MLA and APA formats.

From the Purdue University OWL:

General Guidelines for Using MLA Style, Based on the Sixth Edition handbook
