Note: The MLA defines a library subscription database as a subscription database that offers large amounts of unconnected material aggregated from many different sources. Of course, the Facts.com databases are also available to libraries by subscription. However, because they create and publish primarily their own original content in databases that "feel like single, unified publications," according to MLA standards, Facts.com is classified as a web site rather than a library subscription database. Therefore, for this database, it is not necessary to include "Richland Coll. Lib., Dallas" in the citation. These examples have been written for students by Facts.com and verified using NoodleTools.
