Answer 3

after any material you borrow or quote, you place a parentheses( the last name of the author followed by 1 space and then closing parentheses) followed by the end of the sentence punctuation (. ! ? ) Quote marks for direct quotes are before the first ( If the source doesn't have a last name, you use the article's name (correctly punctuated).

How do I document sources from the Web in my works-cited list?
The MLA guidelines on documenting online sources are explained in detail in the sixth edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (2003) and in the second edition of the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (1998). What follows here is a summary of the guidelines that cover the World Wide Web. For the complete MLA recommendations on Web sources, please see one of the books mentioned above.

Sources on the Web that students and scholars use in their research include scholarly projects, information databases, the texts of books, articles in periodicals, and personal sites. Entries in a works-cited list for such sources contain as many items from the list below as are relevant and available. Following this list are sample entries for some common kinds of Web sources.


Name of the author, editor, compiler, or translator of the source (if given), reversed for alphabetizing and, if appropriate, followed by an abbreviation, such as ed.

Title of an article, poem, short story, or similar short work in the Internet site (enclosed in quotation marks). Or title of a posting to a discussion list or forum (taken from the subject line and put in quotation marks), followed by the description Online posting

Title of a book (underlined [Should I use underlining or italics?])

Name of the editor, compiler, or translator of the text (if relevant and if not cited earlier), preceded by the appropriate abbreviation, such as Ed.

Publication information for any print version of the source

Title of the Internet site (e.g., scholarly project, database, online periodical, or professional or personal site (underlined [Should I use underlining or italics?]) or, for a professional or personal site with no title, a description such as Home page

Name of the editor of the site (if given)

Version number of the source (if not part of the title) or, for a journal, the volume number, issue number, or other identifying number

Date of electronic publication, of the latest update, or of posting

For a work from a subscription service, the name of the service and--if a library or a consortium of libraries is the subscriber--the name and geographic location (e.g., city, state abbreviation) of the subscriber

For a posting to a discussion list or forum, the name of the list or forum

The number range or total number of pages, paragraphs, or other sections, if they are numbered

Name of any institution or organization sponsoring the site (if not cited earlier)

Date when the researcher accessed the source

URL of the source or, if the URL is impractically long and complicated, the URL of the site's search page. Or, for a document from a subscription service, the URL of the service's home page, if known; or the keyword assigned by the service, preceded by Keyword; or the sequence of links followed, preceded by Path.

By the way, you should look into getting a computer program called Endnote. It formats your notes for you and takes all the pain out of the details.
