MLA Handbook, 9th ed by 
Did you use a library database to conduct your research? If so, the database probably has a cite tool to get you started on your reference list. Using the citation tools is a good way to get started crafting your citations, but every citation generator available is known to provide improperly formatted citations. It is your responsibility to know the required citation style and verify that all citations are properly formatted. Have questions about these database features? Ask a librarian for assistance.
MLA uses the core elements template to format citations. Most sources exist within a container. When the source being documented forms part of a larger whole, the larger whole can be thought of as a container that holds the source. For example, an article may be contained in a journal. The article is the source, and the journal is the container.
