The Modern Language Association's (MLA) style is most often used in English, foreign language, and some other humanities. MLA style uses a Works Cited Page to list works at the end of the paper. This style uses breif parenthetical citations, which include an author and page (if applicable), within the text. These direct readers to work of the author on the list of works cited, and the page of the work where the information is located (e.g. (Smith 107) refers the reader to page 107 of the work made by someone named Smith). More information can be found in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers ISBN 0873529863.
