Case

Well, first of all I was wondering if anyone knew of any good online resources for MLA documentation with in depth how tos.

My main question is this: I'm doing a research paper and I was wondering how to cite something from a website in which the website took the information from somewhere else, namely a much more credible source (a journal is more credible than a website). they provided some simple citation, however I was wondering how I would integrate it into the documentation on my paper. I've tried to get at the original information, but I'm not wanting buy anything.

heres the piece of information:

Alcohol contributes to 100,000 deaths annually, making it the third leading cause of preventable mortality in the US, after tobacco and diet/activity patterns (J McGinnis & W Foege, "Actual Causes of Death in the United States," Journal of the American Medical Association {JAMA}, Vol. 270, No. 18, 11/10/93, p. 220.

This is from this page: Facts: Alcoholism and Alcohol-Related Problems - National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence - NCADD...

I'm not quoting anything, just using the piece of information..how would I correctly format this on a works cited page as well as an in text citation.

Thanks alot

I deleted my message because it was wholly unhelpful.

Now, a more helpful post: The best way to cite that is actually get the original source itself. If you're at a university, they usually have all sorts of databases you can access for free.
