I need to cite a print book in MLA format.
Answer
You can find the Lanier Tech 9th ed. MLA Guide on the MLA Style Tab of the Citation Guides Research Guide.
Format:
Author Last Name, Author First Name. Title of Book: Subtitle of Book. City of Publication, Publisher, Year of Publication.
An example citation can be found here.
Format:
1st Author Last Name, Author First Name, and 2nd Author First Name Last Name. Title of Book: Subtitle of Book. City of Publication, Publisher, Year of Publication.
NOTE: When a book has multiple authors, order the authors in the same way they are presented in the book. The first given name appears in last name, first name format; subsequent author names appear in first name last name format.
Sample Citation:
Wilson, Laura, and Emma Dickinson. Respondent Centred Surveys: Stop, Listen and Then Design. London, Sage, 2022.
NOTE: If there are three or more authors, list only the first author followed by the phrase et al. (Latin for "and others") in place of the subsequent authors' names.
Sample Citation:
Gerrish, Howard H., et al. Electricity. Tinley Park, IL, Goodheart-Willcox, 2020.
