MLA Bibliographic Style Sheet

The School District of Philadelphia supports MLA as the style which students should learn and use for research papers, or other instances when you must list the source where you found your information.

When collecting bibliographic data from your source, look for the following:

• Author
• Title of Book, Magazine, Data Base, or Web Site
• Title of Article​
• Publisher
• Copyright Date
• Volume
• Page Numbers Used

To see samples of various citations, download the PAS Library file: MLA Bibliographic Citation Style Sheet.
