Citation Examples: Audio Recording
MLA 9 citation examples coming soon! See below for MLA 8 examples.
Here are some example citations for audio recordings. They are based on MLA 8 guidelines. A Works Cited page should be double spaced within and between citations. To save room, we only single spaced. When a citation has more than one line, the second line and any lines that follow should have a hanging indent. That means the first line of each citation starts at the left margin, and all other lines are indented (moved to the right) half an inch.
