The guidelines here are presented in sections that corresponde to...the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, fourth edition. As electronic media evolve, conventions for listing digital sources in a "Works Cited" list will also change. However the details may eveolve, researchers will always need to give clear, consistent and specific directions for locating every source used in a paper.

1. Author's name;
2. Print information, or (if the material accessed has been posted electronically only) information on the posting. This should consists of as many of the following as are applicable:
   • The underlined title of the larger work area--e.g. electronic journal, newsletter or conference Website;
   • Any indentifying reference numbers--e.g. volume or issue;
   • In parentheses, the date of electronic posting (if given);
   • Number of pages or paragraphs, if provided, or "n. pag" if not divided in any ordered fashion.
3. The word "Online";
4. The name of the electronic database or repository holding the information, if this information is applicable ("Univ. of Virginia Medieval Texts Center" for example);
5. Computer network, if applicable;
6. Date of your access to the information (important to note, since many Web pages and other Internet sites change regularly;
7. The word "Available' followed by the full URL (Web Address) of the information (for example, "Available http://sites.unc.edu/~dmaus/")
