Per MLA style, web sources are indicated in the works cited by adding "Web" and the access date at the end of the citations. Other non-print sources are indicated according to MLA style. We will not, however, be adding "Print" to the print citations. Interviews with Welty are cited under Welty's name rather than the interviewer's name. [End Page 1]
