Purdue OWL MLA Works Cited Guidelines (Overview)
Periodicals (articles from newspapers, magazines and scholarly journals)
Electronic Sources (web sites, articles published on web sites and in online databases)
1: My major is computer system. I’m currently taking CST 1100 and 1101.
2: Regarding MLA (Modern Language Association), it is used towards citing sources. When you want to cite your source ( information that you’ve found useful to help you with whatever it is you’re presenting or have), you can add some elements such as the name of that source, the author , the publish date, website link if there is one, etc. So if I want to share a link that helped me understand MLA, I would cite the URL displayed “https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/1/ “. Usually the author would be the first entry, follow along with the title source, subtitle, etc..
3 and 4: An example of MLA format
Author John Cheever
Article title: Expelled
Website title: New Republic
URL: https://newrepublic.com/article/80190/expelled
Publish: October 1st, 1930
The story I choose to read here was “ Expelled” by John Cheever. From reading the Purdue OWL MLA Works Cited Guidelines, this is how I the story I choose.
this is how I cited the story I choose*
Thanks, Sheldon! Do you know which style guidelines (MLA/APA/Other?) are used in your discipline/major? If not, how might you find out? Could you post the bibliographic citation for Cheever’s short story “Expelled”? A bibliographic citation for an article from a print magazine would look like this sample: Poniewozik, James. “TV Makes a Too-Close Call.” Time 20 Nov. 2000: 70-71. Print.
To create a bibliographic citation, you must first identify your source type. In the case of the John Cheever short story, you know a/ it is a short story and b/ you are referencing an online version published on the New Republic web site. Putting all of this together, you will then find the sample bibliographic citation that most closely matches yours. Of the three categories: books, periodicals, electronic sources, which best describes your source? Answer: electronic source. Now, in the Purdue OWL collection of samples of bibliographic citations for electronic sources, which best describes your source? Answer: An Article in a Web Magazine. Now, using the model provided, create the bibliographic citation for your source.
Please also post the bibliographic citation for one of the research sources that you plan to use.

Thanks!
In my CST class 1100, MLA is used for our assignment due.
Bibliographic Citation for my story-
Cheever, John. “Expelled” New Republic. 1 Oct 1930. Web 9 Nov 2017
Bibliographic Citation for one of my research sources-
Parrack, Dave. “ The Positive Impact of Social Networking Sites on Society”. MakeUsOf (MUO). 12 Apr 2012. Web 9 Nov 2017
Thanks for the reply. Very useful.
Thank you, Sheldon! The bibliographic citation for the Cheever looks great. Likewise, the citation for your research source looks good. However, since I am not familiar with the MakeUsOf web site, I must ask why you chose to use that instead of a more common source, i.e., The New York Times, etc.
All best,

Finally, did you select a short story to read? If so, could you let us know which story?
Thanks!
My major is Computer Engineering. I’m not sure which writing style guideline is used in Computer Engineering. I could find out which guideline is used by asking someone in the faculty.

Hui Lin,
This source looks like a very good one and your synopsis of it is excellent. However, you still need to post the bibliographic citation. If you have any questions about how to do that, please see my comments on Sheldon’s post, which I’m reposting here:
To create a bibliographic citation, you must first identify your source type. In the case of your current source, you know a/ it is an article and b/ you are referencing an online version published on the CNN web site. Putting all of this together, you will then find the sample bibliographic citation that most closely matches yours. Of the three categories: books, periodicals, electronic sources, which best describes your source? Answer: electronic source. Now, in the Purdue OWL collection of samples of bibliographic citations for electronic sources, which best describes your source? Answer: An Article in a Web Magazine.
