MLA 8 help from OWL (Purdue University)

Parenthetical vs. footnotes:

MLA format calls for in-text, or parenthetical citations. This includes a brief citation within the body of the text that indicates the source of the information being used, and clearly refers to the full citation in a Works Cited list. i.e.: (Smith 81). See a simple explanation with examples on Purdue’s OWL Writing Lab site.

If your teacher requires footnotes, you may find an explanation with examples on the Purdue’s OWL Writing Lab site.
