In MLA (version 7), how do cite a textbook in a works cited page? Would it be the same as if you were citing an encyclopedia article or does it have a different citation?

To cite a textbook in MLA (version 7) on a works cited page, you need to follow a specific format. The citation for a textbook is different from citing an encyclopedia article. Here's how you can cite a textbook:

1. Author's Last name, First name. Title of Textbook. Edition, Publisher, Year.

For example, let's say you want to cite a textbook called "Biology: Concepts and Applications" by Cecie Starr and Christine Evers. The textbook was published by Thompson Brooks/Cole in 2010. Here's how the citation would look like:

Starr, Cecie, and Christine Evers. Biology: Concepts and Applications. 8th ed., Thompson Brooks/Cole, 2010.

Remember to alphabetize your works cited page by the author's last name. If the textbook has multiple authors, list them in the same order as they appear on the title page.

Please note that MLA has updated to version 8, which introduced some changes to citation formats. Version 8 is the current standard, but if you specifically need to use version 7, the format provided above should be accurate.
