eng 278: mla citation example: article from database

Here is the template for an article found using a library database:

Author's Last Name, First Name. "Article Title." Periodical Title volume number.issue number  (Publication Date): Page number-page number. Database Name. Service Name. Library Name, City, State. Date of access.

And here's an example with the information filled in:

Smith, Caroline J. "Living the Life of a Domestic Goddess: Chick Lit's Response to Domestic  Advice Manuals." Women's Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal 34.8 (Dec. 2005): 671-99. MLA International Database. EBSCO. University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc, Manitowoc, WI. 4 Mar. 2009.


***note: the formatting is not working. you should use reverse indentation--that is, every line after the first one should be tabbed in.***
