FAQ: Where can I find information on creating a PowerPoint presentation using MLA style?

On page 128 of the MLA Handbook (available in the library), the authors give two suggestions:

1. Include brief citations on each slide that uses borrowed materials and add a works-cited list on a slide at the end.
2. Offer printed copies of your works-cited list to your audience.

Since there are no other MLA specific format guidelines for your PowerPoint, please talk to your professor about his or her expectations for your presentation.
