Citation Links
Works much the same as Slate but make sure to select the MLA format. Several formats from which to choose. Does the best job of these three choices.
Choose the type and style of bibliography you want, type in the information and create. You'll need to copy and paste to Word and reformat.
Type in your information and the citation machine will create the citation for you. Copy and paste the citation into your Word document and then reformat your margins. You may also have to change the font to match your document. Lake Park uses the MLA format. This leaves out some things, such as the word online, in several citations so you will need to check and correct the citations.
C.W. Post Campus--An MLA Style Citation Website that lays out examples using colors to indicate how to create citations correctly. Very well done with excellent examples from the most recent MLA style handbook.
