Question

I want to insert a picture or a map i found in a book into my project usuing MLA style. Do I put it mid text or in the appendix of some kind and if so how do I reference it?

Answer 1

I think it is not necessary where you put pictures in any style. You can put your pictures in the text or appendix. Just label the pictures correctly with source and include it in your bibliography or reference page.

Answer 2

Could you be more specyfic, how do I label the pictre taken from a book if it's in text ? like a quote? (Ponting 80) or in some other way?

Answer 3

I mean label the features of the pictures or diagrams and put the source of the picture below it with the author. You can use arrow to label the pictures as it was label from the source.

Answer 4

Arekprusak, are you confused?

Answer 5

Yes a bit, because experience with MLA tought me that there is a precise formula for everything and I don't think I can just write what's in the picture in whatever maner I see fit.

Answer 6

I did not say you should write anyhow. I said you can insert your pictures in either in the text or appendix. The source of your picture or author will be written below it. And the source or author will be included in the bibliography.

Answer 7

Figures

All visuals/illustrations that are not tables or musical score examples (e.g. maps, diagrams, charts, videos, podcasts, etc.) are labeled Figure or Fig.
Refer to the figure in-text and provide an Arabic numeral that corresponds to the figure. Do not capitalize figure or fig.
MLA does not specify alignment requirements for figures; thus, these images may be embedded as the reader sees fit. However, continue to follow basic MLA Style formatting (e.g. one-inch margins).
Below the figure, provide a label name and its corresponding arabic numeral (no bold or italics), followed by a period (e.g. Fig. 1.). Here, Figure and Fig. are capitalized.
Beginning with the same line as the label and number, provide a title and/or caption as well as relevant source information in note form (see instructions and examples above). If you provide source information with your illustrations, you do not need to provide this information on the Works Cited page.
Figures Example

In-text reference:
