Limiters:  After your initial search, you may be able to limit your results by topic by using the SUBJECT HEADINGS or DESCRIPTORS.

Cite:  Many of the library databases include MLA citations. If you use an article from a database, you can simply copy the MLA citation into your Works Cited page! (Although you should always look them over to make sure they are correct.)
