I strongly encourage you to use a citation generator when creating your Works Cited page. It will assist you in formatting the citation correctly and formatting the page correctly. If you choose not to use a citation generator then please follow the format provided or follow another example.
In an effort to increase flexibility in documentation, the 8th edition of the MLA Handbook has outlined the core elements of Works Cited list entries. Your responsibility is to include all the elements you can find in the order listed below. It the element isn't available, then you don't have to include it. The elements are:
1. Author. -->The author(s) of the work. For multiple authors, list their names in the same order they appear in the work. MLA Style uses each author's full name in the following order: authorlastname, authorfirstname. If there are two authors, invert the second author's name so it is authorfirstname, authorlastname. If there are three or more authors, use the first author's name and "et al." For example:
One author:
Thompson, Andrea.
Two authors:
Goderich, Felicia, and Merida Oakman.
Three authors or more:
Kerich, David, et al.
2. Title of source. -->Title of the work. Subtitles are included after the main title.
3. Title of container, -->This is the name of the journal, website, newspaper, etc. that contains the work,
4. Other contributors, -->This refers to other people who were involved with the work, such as an editor or narrator,
5. Version, --> Use this when your source states indications it is a different version from the original, e.g., revised edition, 8th edition, director's cut,
6. Number, -->This element is used to refer to volume numbers in books, volume and/or issue numbers in journals, seasons and episodes in television shows, etc.,
7. Publisher, -->The publisher is the organization responsible for making the source available to the public.,
8. Publication date, -->This is the date when the source was published,
9. Location. --> This refers to the location of your source within its container, for example, the page numbers of an essay, the URL of a page or post from a website, or the page numbers of an article from a journal. .
*NOTE: If you are citing a source located in a second source then you would repeat the process and include all the information you can find from the second source as part of the citation.
The 8th edition of the MLA Handbook strives to be less prescriptive about references. Therefore, you will need to consider what is necessary to include for each of your sources in order for your reader to locate it.
Here are some general examples to help you decide what to include, see pp.20-58 of the MLA Handbook (8th edition) for more details (notes in bold apply to any item in a Works Cited list, not just the related example):
Shah, Parilah Mohd, and Fauziah Ahmad. "A Comparative Account of the Bilingual Education Programs in Malaysia and the United States." GEMA Online Journal of Language Studies, vol. 199, no. 2, Jan. 2015, pp. 99-125, doi:10.1354/gojl.2000.0034.
Works published on the web sometimes have a DOI (digital object identifier) assigned to them. The DOI is preferable to the URL because it will stay the same even if the URL changes. If you don't have a DOI, use the URL.

Sources contained in a database use a "nested container" approach to include the database name, (EBSCOhost in the example above). See pp. 31-32 of the MLA Handbook, 8th ed. for more details.
