Example of how to cite from a Salem e-book:
1. When you have chosen the article for your person, look for the "article citation" link under the picture of your book
2. Click on the article citation link, and copy and paste the MLA citation for the book. This is your citation that will be listed in your works cited (at the end of your paper).

In-text, or parenthetical citation, will include the author's last name or, if there is no author, the title of the article. Include the page number if present. If there is no page number, use only the author's last name or the title of the article. For example: (Kaufman).
