Title of MLA Paper

The text of the paper begins after the title. Establish your topic, purpose, and the

position you are taking in your paper. This is generally where you will state your thesis.

Be sure to use proper formatting for your in-text citations. The following sentence

shows one way to cite a source from the Works Cited page. Threshold concept theory can be

useful when planning information literacy instruction (Tucker et al. 150). Another method of

citing the same source is to use a signal phrase containing the author’s name. According to

Tucker et al., threshold concept theory is useful when planning information literacy

instruction (150). The corresponding reference citation will be included in the Works Cited

page.

If you are using a quotation longer than four lines of prose or three lines of verse,

indent the entire quote one inch from the left margin. Omit quotation marks and use a colon

before beginning the block quote. Houtman discusses an information literacy workshop:

The workshops are open registration: that is, generic classes rather than classes

integrated into students’ coursework. The broader context is a very large research-

intensive institution with no common first year composition class where students

might get information literacy instruction and with uneven integration of librarians

into academic departments. (10)

Continue your text. The text is full of great sentences. I remember to include in-text citations

when I paraphrase or quote.
