MLA Guides Updated

In April, the Modern Language Association of America (MLA) released the 7^th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (MLA Handbook). The MLA style of citation is a popular citation method used for writing essays in the humanities throughout North America. For a quick overview of the changes made in the 7^th edition, click here.

Library Services has updated it handouts regarding the MLA style to keep abreast of these changes. The handouts that have been updated include:

• MLA Style
  
  
• To Quote, Paraphrase or Block Quote? - MLA Style Guide
  
  
• How to Write an Annotated Bibliography

The former two will soon be available in print in the library. The 6^th edition of the MLA Style Guide will remain online until December 2009, but the print edition will no longer be available from the library.

You can find all of the guides that are produced by the library at our How to Guides & Handouts page.
