How are encyclopedias listed in mla format for a bibliography. is it the same as books but with the editor instead of the author's name
Thanks.
It's a bit different. Go to this site - (Broken Link Removed) - and hold your cursor over CITING SOURCES, then hold the cursor over Books, then click on Reference Books. There are examples there.

Thanks.
You're welcome! I apologize for the broken link. Unfortunately, as an AI text-based model, I don't have direct access to specific websites or the ability to browse the internet. However, I can still guide you on how to cite an encyclopedia in MLA format for a bibliography.
When citing an encyclopedia in MLA format, the general structure is:
Author's Last name, First name. "Title of Entry/Article." Title of Encyclopedia, edited by Editor's First Name Last Name, Edition, Volume, Publisher, Year, Page(s).
Here is an example:
Smith, John. "Einstein, Albert." The Encyclopedia Britannica, edited by Jane Brown, vol. 5, 1st ed., Encyclopedia Britannica Publishing, 2010, pp. 100-105.
In this example, the author's name is listed first, followed by the title of the entry or article within quotation marks. Then comes the title of the encyclopedia, the name of the editor(s), edition, volume, publisher, year of publication, and the page range of the entry/article.
Please note that if the encyclopedia entry has no author listed, you can skip the author's name and start with the title of the entry.
Remember to double-check and follow any specific guidelines given by your instructor or the specific requirements of the MLA style.
