Q. How do I cite a website, such as the CIA World Factbook, in MLA?

Answer

To cite websites, you need these elements:

(1) author (if present)
(2) title (in quotation marks)
(3) title of website (in italics)
(4) publisher
(5) date of publication
(6) medium (web)
(7) date of access

Here is an example:

"Zimbabwe." The World Factbook. Central Intelligence Agency, 2011. Web. 26 Nov 2011.
