Subject guides: MLA 9th: Websites

Websites

Do not include https:// when using a URL. If a permalink or DOI is available, use this instead of a URL.
The publisher's name can often be found in a copyright notice at the bottom of the homepage, or on a page that gives information about the site.
An access date for an online source should be added if the work does not provide a publication date, or if you think the work has been altered or removed.
