Citing ProQuest Central K12 Online

Citing ProQuest Central K12 Online using MLA format is rather easy. The first thing you need to find is the author of the article. The author’s name is always listed at the bottom of the webpage in a box filled with information you may need to cite the page. The author should be listed last name first, then first name followed by middle initial if one is listed followed by a period. After the author of the book comes the title of the article. This is found at the top of the page. The title should be set off by quotes and followed by a period. When the title of the article has been written, find the title of the journal in which the article can be found. This is usually found under the title of the article, and should be italicized. If there is a volume and issue number this should come directly after the article title. After that, comes the copyright year, which can be found at the bottom of the page. This offset by parentheses and is followed by a colon containing the page number(s) on which the article can be found. This too is usually given in the information at the bottom of the page. A period concludes that section of the format. Next you write from which database the information has been retrieved followed by a period. Then type web, followed by a period. After that, comes the date that you viewed the article, of course followed by a period. Finally, you write the root address offset by <, > and followed by our friend the period. Here is an example of a citing:
