This page provides a comprehensive sample of a Works Cited page formatted in MLA 9th edition. You will find the embedded document below, which you can view directly on this page or download by clicking [here].

Please read the following notes regarding special cases

Note: We have chosen to include the date of access for the online sources below. The latest MLA guidelines specify that this is optional, but strongly recommended for sources whose date of publication is unavailable.

Note also: The citation for An Inconvenient Truth below assumes the film has been cited by its title in the text. If it had been cited by the name of its director, the citation would need to begin with Guggenheim's surname. MLA guidelines specify that both styles are acceptable (see, e.g., this "Ask the MLA" page).
