What is the "title of container" for an MLA formatted works cited page?

If I got my info from national geographic, would the title of container be national geographic?

These larger works are referred to as containers in the MLA citation style. Only include the title of the container if your source is a part of a larger whole. Sources that stand on their own (like books or films) do not have containers. The title of the container is in italics with the major words capitalized and is followed by a comma.
