The sources I used for this research were mostly internet articles. I also used the printed article that came with the topics. According to the University Library website, one should follow these general guidelines for MLA:

Spacing

In MLA style, the works-cited page is double spaced, with the same spacing within and between citations.

Order

Citations beginning with names and those beginning with titles are to be alphabetized together. Numbers in titles are treated as though they have been spelled out. For names, alphabetize based on the letters that come before the comma separating the last name from the first, and disregard any spaces or other punctuation in the last name. For titles, ignore articles such as "a" and "the" (and equivalents in other languages) for alphabetization purposes.

What to include

The title "Works Cited" indicates that the list you provide contains only the works you actually cite in your paper. If you wish to also include in your list works that you consult but do not cite, give your page the broader title "Works Consulted."

This information was helpful to me but some parts of the citation process are still giving me trouble. I always have a reference to look at when citing sources. Library 10 directly coincides with this material however I feel that the method of online coursework takes a little longer for me because I sometimes need further explanation and detail.
