I'm writing an annotated bibliography, and one of my sources is an essay that I printed out from a .pdf that I downloaded off the Internet. Would this be considered an online source? I'm asking because I think it is, but I'm not sure. If it is, how should I cite it?

If you got the source off the internet it's a online source UNLESS you got it online directly from a professional journal and it is the exact publication online as the print copy. usually you can't get these types of journals without a fee (there are some exceptions if you're a member of some of these professional journals). But if it's an excerpt from a journal it's online. PDF is just a type of viewing format it's just like if it were in Microsoft Word. So if you didn't have the journal title, the volume and page number and the ENTIRE article it's most likely an online source. And a printed source for most reference are referring to a bound source (book,magazine, newspaper, journal) something with paper pages.

A great website that helps to write out and site this stuff is www.easybib.com
You put in the information (it will help you choose from a pulldown menu) and then it will help you.
You can site this as an article. That's usually what I do. But be sure to have the volume number, month, title, all that stuff.

It would be an online source!
If you just got it from a website the citation would be as follows
Last name, first name. Title underlined. year. Date you got it
If it is another type of source from online you can go to http://www.studentabc.com/mla_format#internet
Good luck!
