MLA Edition

Examples in this guide are based on: MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. 7th edition. New York: MLA, 2009. Print.

Some citation sites and tools that help students create bibliographies still have not updated their information to include the recent changes to MLA style. Check with your professors to see which version of MLA style you should use for your classes.

For further MLA guidance, see the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing. 7th ed. Copies are available on the Quick Reference shelf in the learning commons area near the computer lab, on reserve, and in the Academic Resource Center.
