A glossary of the book is an alphabetized list of terms from the text, written so readers can check meaning in seconds and keep reading. Some books glide. Others carry dense subject words, new names, or made-up language that can slow a reader down. A glossary keeps that speed bump from turning into a full

To cite a website in MLA inside a paragraph, use the author or short title from your Works Cited, then add a locator only when the page provides one. Website facts slip into student writing all the time in class: a statistic, a definition, a timeline, a short quote. MLA wants readers to trace that
