[LM_NET] Citation of diary entry

["Endlich, Rebecca P. (EWH)" <EndlichR@EDMONDS.WEDNET.EDU>]

I believe I have this correct, but can someone correct me if I am wrong?

 

Student wants to cite a diary entry which he found in a book of
collected primary sources - letters, documents, journals - sort of a
hodgepodge. There is no title to this diary entry. I have told him to do
thus:

            Author. Diary entry. Editor. Title of the book and so on -
the usual publication info. Is the first part correct? Calling it a
diary entry and then going on as usual? It seems to be true according to
my reading of MLA 7th ed. I have also referred him to the OWL website at
Purdue. Just confirming I have told him the best info.

 

Thanks, 

Becky
