[ISLMA-Share] Citation question

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

The as quoted in Aaronson is the correct format as long as you cite King in
the signal phrase.
 Since King is the one that said the quotation, he should be credited as
the creator, but the (qtd. in Aronson) allows people to find the
information again.
In addition, I have found the MLA itself to be a great source, along with
OWL Purdue, sometimes I can find answers to specific questions on the MLA
style guide page, because they will answer questions, and you can search
those answers. https://style.mla.org/  <https://style.mla.org/>
