MLA lists electronic sources as Web Publications. Thus, when including the medium of publication for electronic sources, list the medium as Web.
It is always a good idea to maintain personal copies of electronic information, when possible. It is good practice to print or save Web pages or, better, using a
program like Adobe Acrobat, to keep your own copies for future reference. Most Web browsers will include URL/electronic address information when you print,
which makes later reference easy. Also, you might use the Bookmark function in your Web browser in order to return to documents more easily.

A Tweet
MLA posted guidelines on their website for how to cite a tweet on a Works Cited page. Begin with the user's name (Last Name, First Name) followed by
his/her Twitter username in parentheses. Insert a period outside the parentheses. Next, place the tweet in its entirety in quotations, inserting a period after
the tweet within the quotations. Include the date and time of posting, using the reader's time zone; separate the date and time with a comma and end with a
period. Include the word "Tweet" afterwards and end with a period.

YouTube Videos
The MLA does not currently prescribe a citation style for YouTube videos. Based on MLA standards for other media formats, we feel that the following format
is the most acceptable for citing YouTube videos:
Authors Name or Posters Username. Title of Image or Video. Media Type
Text. Name of Website. Name of Websites Publisher, date of posting. Medium. date retrieved.
Here is an example of what that looks like:
Shimabukuro, Jake. "Ukulele Weeps by Jake Shimabukuro." Online video clip.
