Bibliography Guide > How to write a bibliography in MLA? > A section of a book in an MLA citation format
MLA formatting of a section of a book.
It’s almost identical to a book citation with the addition of the chapter or section used.
Author name
Editor name
Title
Article/Chapter title
Page numbers
Publisher
Place of Publication
Publication year

Volume number
Mark Jaffe’s dinosaur book would appear in an MLA bibliography like this:
Jaffe, Mark. "Chapter One." The Gilded Dinosaur: The Fossil War Between E.D. Cope and O.C. Marsh and the Rise of American Science. New York: Crown Publishers, 2000. 1-8.
It’s great that you can now recognize an MLA citation. No need to ever compose one yourself. Let carmun do it.
