Question

What is the MLA format for citing an online encyclopedia. I can't find it on Owl Purdue.
The answers from various other sites and universities differ.
Thanks, jeannem

Answer 1

Here: https://media.glynlyon.com/o_eng03_2012/10/o_mlastyle.pdf
Under citing a website, it says this:
Many of the print sources listed above may also be found on the web. If you access the web version, the works cited entry will be a combination of the print information and the web information. Begin with the relevant print facts as shown above, and replace “Print” with the following information:
Title of the database, if used (italicized). Web. Date of access.

So you add the above information to the citing an encyclopedia in print format whic says this:
Reference Work or Encyclopedia in Print Medium: “Title of Article as it appears in the reference.” Title of Encyclopedia. Year of edition. Print.
“Franklin, Benjamin.” Encyclopedia Britannica. 2002 ed. Print.
