How to Cite Multiple Authors in MLA Style

UPDATE: MLA has published a new, 8th edition. Some of the recommendations for citing are quite different. We are currently working on a new video series. Please see our online guide for help with MLA 8th edition: library.mun.ca/researchtools/guides/citations/m…

This video explains what do with works by more than one author or editor, both in your Works Cited List and in the text of your paper, including when to use "et al." It's based on the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers.

2-3 authors:
Works Cited list (0:31)
in-text (1:01)
3 or more authors:
Works Cited list (1:09)
in-text (1:28)

The content was created by Crystal Rose, Public Services Librarian, Memorial University Libraries, in partnership with the university's department of Distance Education, Learning & Teaching Support.

Thanks for watching!
