MLA Guide--Erie County Community College

Format

Author (if different from publisher). "Title of Article." Title of Website, Publisher or sponsoring organization (if different from title of website),  Date of Publication or last modified date, URL. Accessed date (optional--recommended if no date of publication).

Example

Morin, Amy. "Coping with Sleep Disturbances during Depression." Verywell Mind, 28 May 2021, www.verywellmind.com/coping-with-sleep-disturbances-during-depression-4161015

When citing URL's, leave off http:// and https:// and start all links with www.

Take note that "with" and "during" are not capitalized above because you do not capitalize prepositions in MLA unless they are the first word of the title. 

Format

Author (if different from publisher) "Title of Article." Title of Website, Publisher or sponsoring organization (if different from title of website),  Date of Publication or last modified date, URL. Accessed date (optional--recommended if no date of publication).

Example

"Pet Safety in Emergencies."  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 9 June 2021, www.cdc.gov/healthypets/keeping-pets-and-people-healthy/emergencies.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fhealthypets%2Femergencies%2Findex.html

When citing URL's, leave off http:// and https:// and start all links with www.

In the example above, the publisher (Centers for Disease Control) is also the author, so they are only listed once, after the article title

Author

The author of a page on a website can be a group, corporation or a person. 

Date

This can be difficult to find. The best date to use is the date the website was updated last. Otherwise, use the date the site was created. If you cannot find a specific date, you may just put the year if you can find it. Additionally, the date you accessed the site is optional, and you may want to include it if you cannot find a publication date.
