MLA 9

On the Web:

**This can get a bit tricky because sometimes not all the information is available at first glance and types of web sources vary so much.  You may have to dig around. If you cannot find the info, move onto the next part.  If you cannot find a date, include the Accessed on date at the end.

Author Last name, First name. “Title of the Webpage." Title of the Website, Date of publication, Url of webpage. (And sometimes the Accessed on Date.)

Since these resources are on the web, use the URL from the
 search bar. Remember to remove the https:// and the
 hyperlink.
 

 

In General, for Videos, Tweets, Blogs, Emails, etc. Look carefully and follow the pattern for the particular resource type.
