Author.
Title of source.
When citing a Learning Guide from JCTC, there will not be a listed author. The guides are edited by many different individuals, but published under the school. Like citing any other website, you can skip the author and go straight to the title.
The title will depend on what specifically you are referencing in your work.
Depending on what you are citing from the guide, there may be one or two containers. For example, if you are citing a video found within a Learning Guide, you'll would first need to create a container for the video with information on its specific information.
The outermost container will always be the name of the specific Learning Guide that you are using followed by the information below.
For a JCTC Learning Guides, the publisher will always be Jefferson Community and Technical College.
The date can be found within the footer of the page.
Next, you'll need to provide the URL for the location.
Because Learning Guides are online resources that are updated frequently, you'll want to finish with your accessed date.
As discussed in the previous section, the author will not be listed. If you are citing information that you found on a page, you'll start with the title of the page. In the example below, the title will be the name of the page.
Running Example: "The Electoral College."
Next, the name of the Guide will serve as the container.
Running Example Continued:
"The Electoral College." American Government and Politics,
After the container comes the publisher which is Jefferson Community and Technical College.
Running Example Continued:
"The Electoral College." American Government and Politics, Jefferson Community and Technical College,
The date comes next within the citation. This can be found at the very bottom of the guide.
Running Example Continued:
"The Electoral College." American Government and Politics, Jefferson Community and Technical College, 10 Nov. 2020.
The location or URL follows the date. You can get this by copying (CTRL + C) the URL from the web address and pasting (CTRL + V) it into your citation.
Running Example Continued:
"The Electoral College." American Government and Politics, Jefferson Community and Technical College, 10 Nov. 2020, jefferson.kctcs.libguides.com/americangovernment/electoralcollege.
*If when you copy and paste the URL, the web address has an https:// or http:// you should delete that from the citation as MLA does not require those prefixes.
Lastly, since the Learning Guides are continually updated, you'll want to include the date that you accessed the resource.
Running Example Completed:
"The Electoral College." American Government and Politics, Jefferson Community and Technical College, 10 Nov. 2020, jefferson.kctcs.libguides.com/americangovernment/electoralcollege. Accessed 25 Nov. 2020.
