You list a source on a Works Cited page for a research paper in MLA format by listing it this way: Last Name, First Name. Title italicized or underlined. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. That's for a normal book. Try http://www.liu.edu/CWIS/CWP/library/workshop/citmla.htm or search on the internet for ways to cite other publications, or for multiple authors, etc. There are other requirements for MLA papers as well... margins, information on the first page, etc. No footnotes, but all your sources should be on a Works Cited page, and have in-text citations that go along with them. These should include the last name of the author and the page number referenced, like (Thompson 122). There are several online writing labs that can help you out with this as well, or you can buy the MLA Handbook, or almost any other grammar handbook will cover MLA style.
