MLA Citation Guide
The MLA Citation Guide is a guide to some of the most commonly used and cited types of sources. It includes guidance both on creating Works Cited lists and on In-Text parenthetical citations. Even if you use automatic citation generators, you are likely to need to consult the guide. The citation generators work quite well, but they do make errors, so you may well need to adjust some of the citations generated.
