FAQ: How do I cite multiple sources in one in-text citation in MLA style?

According to the MLA Handbook, if you want to cite multiple sources in one in-text citation you will separate the citations with a semi-colon. The order of the authors is up to you - they can be organized alphabetically, by importance, etc. See page 262 for more information.
