UTEL MLA-Style Bibliography Builder 1.0b
by Dennis G. Jerz
|
The bibliography builder helps you to fill in a
form with the information required to construct an entry for an MLA-style
Works Cited list. Help is available for each item on the form. About
the UTEL MLA-Style Bibliography Builder.
What kind of source are you using?
-
Book: an entire work (novel, play, long poem, biography,
etc.), published separately.
-
Selection: a work published in a collection.
-
Periodical: an article from a journal, magazine,
newspaper, etc.
About the UTEL Bibliography Builder
This web document does not attempt to duplicate all the resources available
in the MLA Handbook (4th ed.), but rather subdivides the task of
constructing a bibliography entry, focusing on one item at a time. The
intention is to reduce the need to scavenge through the handbook's 81-page
chapter on citation in the hopes of finding a precise model illustrating
how to cite a particular source. Fill in the appropriate form, and
push a button to generate a bibliography entry, which you can then paste
into your word processor.
Limitations:
-
When you copy text from the browser window, you will unfortunately lose
all formatting (such as underlining).
-
At present this utility generates one entry at a time. Alphabetization
and formatting the works cited page is up to you.
-
This utility requires a browser with JavaScript and frames capability (such
as Netscape Navigator 2.01 and higher).
I have noticed some problems with Internet Explorer.
