Here's a good place for information on citing in MLA format:
(Broken Link Removed)
Hold your cursor over the words <b>CITING SOURCES</b> in the left column and then click on whatever type of source you need help with. Many examples will show up. You will get two examples for each type of reference – one for the Works Cited page and one for the parenthetical (in-text) citation.
You can also see what a Works Cited page looks like – click on <b>Sample Works Cited</b> in the left column.
Hold on a minute, and I'll look for specifics on your question. Meantime, you should wander around this site.
