If it is a complicated citation - for example if one author quotes another and you cannot find the original work that was cited - then you might want to consult the MLA Handbook or the PMA (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association) to be sure.
Both these manuals have been considered 'bibles' for years and will be in any library reference section (either public library or high school or university/college) or you can buy them in most bookstores and online. They're invaluable to have on your bookshelf and you can always re-sell them to another student when you graduate!
