| Feel free to copy these forms we have designed and use them to record the pieces of information you will need to complete the bib card for each resource you use in writing your research paper. Remember, you won't necessarily have information in every box, just those boxes that are available in the source you are using. MLA regularly updates their format requirements, so whenever you're uncertain or need help with other types of documentation (periodicals/magazines, interviews, videos, etc.) check this web site, this site, or the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 6th ed. for clarification. |
REPRINTS and EXCERPTS (A printable form)
Does your source indicate the information was previously in print ('Reprinted with permission of the author,' 'Excerpted from...', or something like that)? You'll need this combined form to help you with that type of source. Use the bibliographic citation the author or editor provides to fill in the following for the reprinted selection and then follow it with the information on the book that you are using.
