Feedback on Preliminary Bibliography

Hi, Kyracsbloom! You have some understanding of MLA style, but there are several details you need to attend to. First, the titles of books and journals should be italicized. Remember that "university" and "press" are abbreviated; e.g. Harvard UP, U of Michigan P, Cambridge UP. Also, you don't need to include the location of the publisher anymore -- just its name. Finally, if you found any of these sources through an online database (maybe you didn't, but I want to mention this just in case): you need to include some info about the database in the citation. For example, if you found a journal article in EBSCO or Proquest or JSTOR, you need to include the name of that database; the DOI, stable URL (if available), or general URL for the company/database owner, and the date you accessed the electronic source. Please carefully review the OWL at Purdue's summary of these rules at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/ If you have any further questions, please let me know. Thanks!
