WARNING! The database's MLA citation is wrong!

In MLA the first letter in the main words all need to be capitalized. The title below should read "What is People Management?" It's okay to copy/paste database citations, but correct the mistakes before you turn in your work.
MLA citation error

NOTE: If you have any questions about MLA citations, double-check with an MLA citation guide (below), or reach out to me or the Writing Center!

Citing Sources in MLA 9
MLA Style is "a set of standards for writing and documentation used by writers to find and evaluate information, alert their audience to the trustworthiness of their findings through citation, and shape the expression of their ideas in conversation with others. " Citing your sources tells your reader they can trust your work, a very important consideration in this unfortunate era of misinformation and disinformation.
