Using MLA style, type an in-text citation for page 88 of this source.

There are two ways to provide an in-text citation in MLA style. You can refer to the author's last name in the narrative of the sentence: Ennis claimed that space-age mining was different than pre-historic mining (88). You can also include the entire in-text citation in parentheses using the last name of the author and page number (Ennis 88).

Explanation:

MLA style uses the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that when citing material to show where you have sourced the information you are using, you write down the author's last name and the page number (s) for the quotation or paraphrase you are using. In scholarly writing, it is obligatory to properly source and cite the references you use to research your paper, article, or essay. Then the complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. In MLA style there are two ways you can provide an in-text citation: The author's name can be referred to in the text of your essay, as in "Smith notes that Hurricane Katrina was a terrible storm, but Hurricane Andrew was stronger (38) " or you can include both the authors last name and page number in parentheses: "Hurricane Katrina affected the city of New Orleans, and it was the greater Miami area that suffered most through Hurricane Andrew (Smith 38)."
