Note: MLA no longer requires the URL of the source in the citation. This is because websites are often static and most sources can be found through a title and author search. When possible, one can inclue a link to a permanent version of the article. For instructors or editors who still wish to require the use of URLs, MLA suggests that the URL appear in angle brackets after the date of access. Break URLs only after slashes.
