 This video explains how to include books in your work cited list according to the seventh edition of the MLA Handbook. I'll show you how to format references for print books, including edited books, translated books, what to do with addition and volume numbers, and an individual essay or chapter with a different author than the books editor. For examples of in-text citations, check out our video, Citing Sources in MLA Style, A Basic Introduction. Here, the punctuation is in red for emphasis. In your actual work cited list, all font would be black. Start with the author's last name, followed by their first name. Next, enter the title of the book in italics. Then, enter the city of publication, followed by a colon. There's no need to include the state or province. Then the publisher's name, followed by a comma. And the year of publication, followed by a period. Finally, indicate the medium of publication. Medium refers to the format. For print books, the medium would be print. To find all of the information you need, look at the book's title page at the beginning of the book. Here's the title, addition number, and author's name. At the bottom of the page is the name of the publisher. Leave out words like publisher, press, books, company, or ink. Here's the city of publication. If more than one is listed, just use the city that's listed first. Sometimes the year is listed here, but if not, you can turn the page to find the year it was published. Previous editions are sometimes listed, so go with the most recent. And if it's a library book, the year will also be on the spine label. And here's a hint. Look up that book in the library catalog. All of the information will be listed there as well. What if the book was edited? Add the abbreviation ED period after the editor's name. If a novel has an editor in addition to the author, the author's name gets listed first. After the title, write capital ED period, then the editor's name. When editors' names follow the title, only ever use ED dot, never EDS dot. Also notice that here you don't put the editor's last name first. A book that's been translated is referenced in a similar way. After the title, add TRANS period, followed by the translator's first name and last name. What do you do with addition or volume numbers? For an addition of a book other than the first edition, add the addition after the title and after the name of any editors or translators. What if you need to cite an individual essay or chapter in a book that has a different author than the book's editor? Start with the author of the essay or chapter. Then the title of the essay or chapter, in quotation marks. Then the title of the book in italics, followed by the editor of the book. And remember here the first name goes first. After the publication info, but before the medium, add the page numbers for that essay or chapter. Thanks for watching.
