MLA: Get Citations While Searching
How to get citations while searching?
*NOTE: most citation generators available through the library will NOT have a MLA 9th edition option yet. Continue to use the 8th edition examples and double check the citation with our style guides.
Get an automatically generated citation in OneSearch Links to an external site. and many of our databases.
Look for a tools section in databases to email the article, get the permanent links/persistent URLs, and retrieve the citation. Sometimes you can email both the material and citation at the same time.
WARNING: Citaions in OneSearch are missing the permalink or DOI. You will need to include them by copying and pasting a permalink/DOI/stable URL preferably from the database. Use the OneSearch permalink if not available in a database.
Double check that entire citation is correct using the MLA 9th Edition Quick Guide.
